(4) 4-6 Miranda and her mother join Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West show to earn enough money to retire to their farm. They confront their own hatred when Sitting Bull, the Sioux chief who killed Miranda's father at Little Big Horn, joins the show. Whelan oversimplifies complex historical issues of Indian affairs and prejudices but makes a genuine attempt at evenhandedness.
