Lt. John Dunbar is about to have his foot amputated in a Union hospital in Tennessee. Is foot is in critical condition, but knows it will have to be sawed off unless he got out of there. So runs away in protest and rides in a suicidal dash toward Confederate lines, accidentally leading a charge and becomes a hero. Asked for whatever posting he wants, he asks to be sent to the Dakota Territory. The remote Western outpost turns out to be deserted, but he makes a friend of a lonely wolf he names "Two-Socks," and gradually gets to know the local Sioux tribe, who eventually accept and name him "Dances with Wolves." One of the members of the tribe is a white woman, Stands With a Fist who was taken in and raised by the Sioux after her parents were killed by the Pawnee. She and Dunbar gradually fall in love, and as the white settlers take over the territory that the Indian’s previously owned. John Dunbar is the main character and Lieutenant for the U.S.
