In the morning of the world, Red Cloud, first man of the Nishinam, sings that the duty of life is to make life more abundant, like the planter of acorns, while the War Chief insists that war is the only way. Their quarrel echoes down the ages in this short lyric drama of songs and choruses, until strangers with muskets arrive from the sea.
