This book tells the story of a young Native American boy who grows up in the midst of the Native American rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s. The boy witnesses firsthand the struggles and triumphs of his people as they fight for their rights and their land.

The book begins with the boy's childhood on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota. The boy's father is a Lakota Sioux medicine man and his mother is a white woman. The boy grows up learning about his Lakota culture and the history of his people.

In the 1960s, the boy's father becomes involved in the American Indian Movement (AIM). AIM is a militant organization that fights for the rights of Native Americans. The boy's father participates in the Trail of Broken Treaties march in 1972 and the occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973.
