The pioneers have just buried their only little child at the side of the trail and their hearts go out to the miserable Indian child who timidly approaches them for protection. They take care of her and bring her up as their own and the girl becomes in training and dress like one of her white sisters. There comes a time, however, that a young white man falls in love with her and her foster parents consider it their duty to tell both the girl and the young man the story of her origin. The girl's first impulse is a desire to see something of her people, and her father and her lover reluctantly consent to accompany her in a search for the tribe from which she originated. Thinking that her long life among the whites will cause her to revolt when she sees the poverty and hardship of her own people, but it turns out that "The Call of the Blood" is too strong, for when the tribe is finally located the young squaw completely forgets her foster father and her white lover, takes up with a young buck, whose squaw she becomes in spite of the argument and protestations of her white friends.
