You were right. He is a special white man.
He should have a real name.
Kicking Bird want to know...
...why you want to make war on the Pawnee.
They have done nothing to you.
Only Sioux warriors to go.
He said that the Sioux way of being a warrior...
...is not the white way.
-You are not ready.
He also asks that you...
...watch over his family while he is gone.
This thing he asks is a great honour for you.
He thanks Dances With Wolves for coming.
It is the name which all the people...
...are calling you now.
Keep on with the white man talk if it pleases you.
l like to make the talk.
We walk.
Grass grows on the prairie.
-Wrong. -Wrong?
That man is a fighter.
Yes.
What are you doing?
It’s hot, and we are sitting in the shade.
I’m hungry.
How is Dances With Wolves?
What do you mean?
How is he learning?
He is a fast learner.
What did you think I meant?
You go for water, today?
Then let us take you.
l was not very old...
...when l came to be with the people.
And l was made to work.
l worked every day, very hard.
There was a woman...
...who didn't like me much.
She used to call me bad names, and sometimes she....
Beat me?
And one day, she was...
...calling me these bad names...
...with her face in my face...
...and l hit her.
l was not very big, but she fell down.
She fell hard and didn't move.
And then l stood over her with my fist...
...and l asked if...
...there was any other woman...
...who wanted to call me bad names.
No one bothered me after that day.
-I’m sorry. -l have to go.
You are not talking today?
No, l am not.
Some of your words are wrong but you are learning fast.
So what can l tell you today?
l want to know about Stands With A Fist.
Why is there no man with her?
She is in mourning.
l do not understand ''mourning.''
She cries for someone.
Cries for who?
It is not polite to speak of the dead.
But you are new, so l will tell you.
She cries for her husband.
He was killed not long ago.
That is how you came to find her on the prairie.
How long will she cry?
It is Kicking Bird's place to say when she is finished.
He's the one that found her when she was very little.
People are talking about you.
What are they saying?
They are proud of the medicine...
...you are making with Dances With Wolves.
l have hurt him, and l should go talk to him.
You can't. He is gone.
He left this morning.
l am in mourning.
No, we cannot.
-Yes. -We must be careful.
We must be careful.
Trouble.
The Pawnee are coming. A big party of 40 or 50 men this time.
Hunters found them not far to the north. Soon be here.
Stone Calf, wait. l will follow you.
The Pawnee do not come for horses. They come for blood.
Get your weapons and come to my lodge.
l will get them.
Stone Calf, wait.
l have guns.
l have many rifles.
-At the fort? -Yes.
No. The ride is long and we can spare no men.
Guns would make one warrior like two.
Take one man and go quickly.
l will take Smiles A Lot.
Okay!
When we were younger, he always bragged about how brave he was.
And what a great chief he would make.
He thought l was impressed.
While walking on the prairie, we surprised a small herd of buffalo.
And the first thing this brave warrior did is run for a tree.
He would have forgotten all about me...
...if he hadn’t needed my help to climb it.
And we sat there all day as this old cow circled below.
Making loud noises and hitting her head against the trunk.
Where are you going? There is gambling tonight.
Horseback’s games are always good.
I'm tired. Horseback already has a good rifle of mine.
Good night.
How long will Stands With A Fist mourn?
l don’t know.
l hope it will not be too long.
Has something happened?
What?
She has found love again.
With who?
Who do you think?
Tell me.
Dances With Wolves.
Are you certain of this?
When you see them together, you will know.
What are people saying?
They like the match.
No one is angry?
It makes sense. They are both white.
l suppose l will be the one to say something.
She’s your daughter now.
l know.
Relax. You can’t see everything coming.
Stop it. Quit your playing.
Stands With A Fist.
You will mourn no more.
Sit, sit.
There’s talk that you want to get married.
To who?
To Stands With A Fist.
That’s the one, isn’t it?
She’s in mourning.
Not today.
Kicking Bird has released her.
He did?
What are you doing here?
Kicking Bird told me to wait.
You might have to wait a long time.
Smiles A Lot says he saw Kicking Bird riding on the prairie.
He says he was talking to himself.
A medicine man takes it pretty hard...
...when he is the last to know something.
What do l do?
You are pretty poor and a Sioux girl is not for free.
l don’t know if you can get married.
l have the buckskin....
No, that’s too much medicine.
Do you think my horse is too much medicine?
For a girl.
Wait here. Maybe we can help you.
Wait.
Turn around.
You look good.
You know, the man she mourned for....
He was my best friend.
l didn’t know that.
He was a good man.
It has been hard for me to like you.
l am not the thinker Kicking Bird is.
l always feel anger first.
There were no answers to my questions.
But now l think he went away because you were coming.
That is how l see it.
This is a good day for me.
And for me.
lf you want this man, take his hand in yours.
Have you heard all that l have said?
Good, then take her inside.
She is your wife.
Thank you.
Dances With Wolves' door is closed a lot these days.
l think they’re having trouble making a baby.
l don’t think they’re having trouble at all.
lf we pull the smoke flap shut, they will come out for sure.
Dances With Wolves, are you in there?
Today l am riding away to a far away place.
l would like you to ride with me.
it's good to be out.
Yes, it must be.
We are trying for a baby.
No waiting?
No waiting.
l was just thinking that of all the trails in this life...
...there is one that matters most.
It is the trail of a true human being.
l think you are on this trail, and it is good to see.
We call you the Busy Bee.
It is said that all the animals were born here.
That from here they spread over the prairies to feed all the people.
Even our enemies agree that this is a sacred place.
it’s quiet here.
We must wait for these people.
No, they’ve been gone a week. Maybe more.
We will water the horses and go home.
You always ask about the white people.
You always want to know how many more are coming.
There will be a lot, my friend.
More than can be counted.
How many?
It makes me afraid for all the Sioux.
We should tell this to Ten Bears.
The men who wore this came...
...in the time of my grandfather’s grandfather.
Eventually we drove them out.
Then the Mexicans came. They do not come here anymore.
In my own time, the Texans.
They have been like all the others.
They take without asking.
l don’t know if we are ready for these people.
But l think you are right. l think they will keep coming.
When l think of that, l look at this helmet.
Our country is all that we have, and we will fight to keep it.
Tomorrow we will strike the village...
...and go to the winter camp.
You have everything from the soldier fort?
That’s good.
Enough.
We cannot wait for you.
Injun!
Get him! Injun!
Something has happened.
Dances With Wolves is not coming.
He must have trouble.
Pick two good men and send them back to the soldier fort.
l am Dances With Wolves.
l have nothing to say to you.
You are not worth talking to.
No.
Dances With Wolves is quiet these days.
Is his heart bad?
Killing the soldiers at the river...
...was a good thing.
l did not mind killing those men. l was glad to do it.
But the soldiers hate me now, like they hate no other.
They think l am a traitor.
And they will hunt for me.
And when they find me, they find you.
l think it would be wise to move the village now.
l will be leaving.
l must go and talk with those who would listen.
Quiet. You are hurting my ears.
Leave us alone.
You are the only white man l have ever known.
l have thought about you a lot. More than you know.
But l think you are wrong.
The man the soldiers are looking for no longer exists.
Now there is only a Sioux named Dances With Wolves.
Let's smoke awhile.
What can l tell you?
You've made the decision.
My place is with you.
l go where you go.
No.
Did you tell everyone?
it’s all right.
You...
...finish your pipe?
Good pipe.
How...
...does it smoke?
We come far...
...you and me.
Dances With Wolves.
l am Wind In His Hair.
Do you see that l am your friend?
Can you see that you will always be my friend?
