There are those who believe the age of the Indian Warrior is long past - relegated to history. But the age of the mounted warrior riding across plains has yet another date with destiny. We travel to the Lakota Sioux Reservation, where a man-child has been born. Tradition says he was born of the blood line of the greatest of the Lakota War Chiefs, and their spirit dwells within him. It is said of this man child that he shall stand in two worlds, with feet of iron. This unique prophesy came to fulfillment, but in a most unlikely manner.

He was known by his people as Grey Eagle, a name which was derived from the color of his eyes. While his lineage was that of full blood Lakota Sioux, his eyes somehow had turned out solid grey. His family lives among a spread of trees atop a high ridge, overlooking large valley below, with mountains in the distance. The hawk and the eagle fly over head and the young boy grew into manhood, amazed at their power. Young Grey Eagle was like all boys his age, but often he would break awa

The years past and Grey Eagle had been promoted to the rank of captain when war broke out in the Middle East. Grey Eagle was ready, and he knew it. Since he was a boy back on the reservation, he knew this was his moment. He would prove himself and earn the title Lakota Sioux Warrior; the greatest among his people.

It was night and the moon was full, the wind whispered among the leaves, and he could hear, as it were, a calling and a beckoning. It was at this time that he later claimed he saw the spirit come to him. The image of a Great Warrior Chief, and it came saying; "Grey Eagle - put on the robes of your forefathers and lead the Indian Nations."

When Grey Eagle returned home, he was welcome by his tribe as a returning hero; throngs greated him. His people were mesmerized by his presence and couldn't seem to get enough of him. Whispers began to circulate, likening him to Crazy Horse and the other Great War Chiefs of the past. It was at this time, that a delegation came knocking on his door, representing the inter-tribal confederation. They came pleading with him to take a leadership position on the council. Grey Eagle did not say no, but first indicated he must be alone and consider the matter.

A mothers love understood that in some way her son was special. Even as a boy she knew, her son had the eyes of a warrior and a leader of men. His natural abilities seemed to be greater and stronger than other boys his age. He could see and hear with greater intensity, and his alertness was abo
