Joseph Stalin once said, "When writing a logline, you kill one person, it's a tragedy, kill a million and it's a statistic" (I think he said that anyway)

I'll also add that "...Sioux..." is unclear a description - there are many people who will likely not be familiar with this particular tribe. I think just Chief would do, perhaps add a flaw to give him depth.
