The Last Stand

The Civil War has ended. A new wave of settlers is flooding into the West, and, in 1873, gold is discovered in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Caught up in a desperate struggle for their ancestral lands, the Plains Indians, embittered by years of broken treaties, gather for one more stand against the white man. Led by George Armstrong Custer, the famous Battle of the Little Bighorn was also tragically the last stand for the Indians and an end to their way of life .
