Indian leader Richard Dix endures mistreatment, prejudice, robbery and even murder at the hands of government "Indian agent" Noah Beery. Pretty school teacher Lois Wilson makes it personal when Beery attacks her but blames Dix. WWI comes calling and Wilson, who has been romancing Dix as well as reading the Bible with him, convinces him, and his tribe, to fight for the American side in Europe. The wounded return home to find Beery in charge and nothing has changed. Strong indictment of the American policy towards its native inhabitants has lost none of its impact. Beautifully filmed in Monument Valley, Utah.
