Stone — James Tucker

When America was a vast wilderness and buffalo roamed the prairie, a young Cherokee woman named Tree and the son of the tribe's chief, Bear Man, married and had a son. They named him Stone. His friends were the great rivers and tress; his teachers, the best hunters, trackers and trappers in the land. And as time passed on he grew handsome and brave, proud and strong. No sooner did he become a warrior when an incident occurred bringing great shame to all the Cherokee nation. In search of redemption, the tribe was forced to make a long, perilous journey west. It was during that arduous trek that the chief perished, and before he died, he proclaimed his grandson, Stone, the new chief.
