Chief Gallant Hawk was a Choctaw tribal leader. His two sons were Green Arrowhead and Chief Bold Eagle. A General of the U.S. meets Gallant Hawk to discuss a peaceful resolution to cease the invasion of Choctaw hunting grounds by white men. Some months later, an Army General asks the chieftain for permission to pass through the Choctaw land, so the soldiers might avoid going through hostile Comanches who are at war. He gives Gallant Hawk the assurance that none of the buffalo will be killed by the soldiers. Gallant Hawk agrees to let the soldiers pass over the land.
