The Scout - A Thousand Mustangs and a Chief on VHS cassette at DEFA

Plot: The film is based on true events. At the end of the 1970s, the fighting against the Sioux was over and the US Army began to put the Indian tribes living west of the Rocky Mountains into reservations. These tribes included the peaceful hunter and fisherman tribe of the Nez Perces. The cavalry under Colonel Howard confiscates the Nez Perces' horses to prevent them from fleeing to Canada, which would be the tribe's only way to avoid their own decline on the reservation. Deputy Chief White Feather takes on the seemingly impossible task of bringing the herd of horses back. His chances of success improve when he learns from Cayuse scouts that Fort Lapwai, the Americans' target, has been destroyed and that Howard's group is in trouble. The Cayuse pursue the cavalry and the disbanding groups arrive at the ruins of the fort at the same time. When the Cayusians attack again, White Feather manages to take control of the herd and bring it back to his tribe.
