Twenty years after Dances With Wolves, Father Mark Thomas finds a life with the Cheyenne River Sioux and a beautiful woman named Fawn more compelling than his Jesuit training. But as Father Thomas' new life is beginning, the old life of the Sioux is about to end; one more hard winter and the people will starve.
The Sioux's last hope is Wovoka, a Paiute prophet who promises that if all dance his Ghost Dance the buffalo will return and the white man will vanish from the earth. Is Wovoka a savior? Will the Ghost Dance lead the people to salvation, or to the tragedy called Wounded Knee?
