Dances with Wolves (1990)

Union lieutenant John W. Dunbar (Kevin Costner) enters a Sioux village to talk but finds an injured white woman named Stands With A Fist (Mary McDonnell) wearing Indian clothing and speaking only the Lakota language. As a child (named Christine), her family was slaughtered by Pawnee Indians but she was later rescued by the medicine man Kicking Bird (Graham Green). She earned her name as a youngster when she punched out a tormentor and challenged everybody else.
