The Director of the F.B.I. personally assigns Ray Levoi to investigate the murder of an Indian on a Sioux Reservation. After a series of incidents and confrontations between the government and Indians, tensions are high and the Director feels that sending Levoi, who is part Sioux, will help ease the situation. Levoi has never openly acknowledged his heritage and at first receives no more cooperation from the Indians than any other government agent would get. The government's prime suspect is Jimmy, a militant leader of Indian rights, but as Ray continues his investigation he is convinced that they are after the wrong man. As Ray comes to know the Indians the bond between them grows stronger. He is appalled at the government's lack of respect for Indian rites and the extreme poverty the Indians have endured. He befriends a school teacher, Maggy, a full blooded Indian, who is a Dartmouth graduate and dedicated to educating the Reservation's children. After several violent attacks on the Indians, Ray begins to suspect that there is more than a murder investigation at stake here. When he uncovers corrupt officials and evidence that would destroy the government's case, his life is in danger, which he faces head on. He has made the transition to Indian and the tribe's elder proclaims that Ray is "Thunderheart, he who has been sent to a troubled place to help his people." Ray's determination and total belief in his mystical powers as Thunderheart lead to an exciting climax.
