Unusually for the time. Another episode that takes a direct approach regarding discrimination faced by Native Tribes in the old west.
Pahoo, Yancy and Colorado Charlie travel to Washington DC after the Pawnee villages are attacked. A treaty made by President Buchanan in 1857 guaranteed the Pawnee nation the protection of the US Army against attacks by Cheyenne and Arapahoe.
With a letter of introduction from John Colton they go to see an administrator of the War Department. Only to find that he is in cahoots with the unsavoury Jack Dingo who is provoking the attacks against the Pawnee nation.
They plan is to provoke Pahoo so to portray him as a savage. Only to find an ally in congressman Thaddeus Stevens.
During their journey to the Capitol. Pahoo is thrown out of the first class carriage on a train. Native Indians have to travel in the goods wagon. They are later refused accomodation at a hotel. All three have to stay in a stable.
The story mirrors the growing civil rights movement of the late 1950s.
