Seven Chiefs is a fictional work about the battle of Little Bighorn from the perspective of the Blackfeet Sioux. It takes a look at the historic battle through the eyes of its two main characters - Running Water and Soaring Hawk. Using his proven style of mixing historical narrative with military fiction, author David H. C. Carter shows us the daily life of the Plains Indian, and the intertribal relations of the Sioux Indians (Lakota) as they prepare for the changing tide of Western expansion on the American plains.
