Cuchilo

I did not like this book written by J.T. Edson. A few hunters kill a white buffalo and take the body. Cuchilo, the son of a white man and a Comanche woman, sees them and decides to track them down because of the white buffalo's spiritual significance to the natives. A young Sioux boy, who is the son of a chief is accused of theft due to a misunderstanding and is imprisoned. Cuchilo befriends the boy and protects him from the white men and rival Indians.

The Spanish word for “knife” actually has two “L’s”, cuchillo.
