But when White Bull's cruel cousin claims Tonka for his own and mistreats the horse, White Bull sets it free. Tonka finally finds a home with Capt. Keogh and the 7th Calvary, and in 1876, rides into The Battle Of The Little Big Horn with General Armstrong Custer. So mount up for this spirited tale of adventure and history, and take a ride with TONKA.|In the film, Tonka is the lone cavalry survivor of the Battle of Little Big Horn, better known as Custer's Last Stand.
