    17-18 century, fierce struggle between white colonialists and North American Indians. Indians often steal white women and children into captivity, gradually making them full members of their society. Indians take captive women as wives, and raise children as their own. Unlike whites, in captives they respect not submission, but character, will and courage. However, there is always a risk of scalp loss. The Indians have their own characteristic wisdom, worldview and unusual traditions.
