Upon awakening the next day, the party begins to socialize with the Indians of the Brule refuge. Chow, Jed, and Raylan decide to join some youths on a buffalo hunt while Grimm joins the women in camp. While choring with the women, Grimm learns much of the language and culture. The hunting party finds their quarry and after Jed reveals their location to the prey, they are charged by the buffalo and one of the indian boys is gored.

Chow springs into action and heals the boy using his magic. When they return back to the valley, the boy’s father in gratitude gives Chow the Indian name “Healing Tail”. After spending another night in camp, the party once again continues their journey to the Blackfoot chief.
