The Indians are anxious to have the boy among them because he fulfills the prescient dreams of one of the elders, Anuba (Patricia Van Ingen); Nick is just happy to have the adventure. He undergoes training to become a Shoshone warrior, and his ability to shoot an arrow comes in handy as a rival tribe -- led by the fearsome Pocatello (Wes Studi) -- and a posse of white men bring danger to his newly adopted family. ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi

Robert Roten, Laramie Movie Scope
Gives the viewer some insight on Native American culture. That is a lot more than most westerns have to offer on this subject.
