Johnny Tiger
Widower George Dean has just arrived in the village on the Green Swamp Reservation in the Florida Everglades with his family consisting of his three offspring, young adult Barbara Dean and adolescents Wendy Dean and Randy Dean, to begin his new job teaching the Seminole children of the reservation in what he discovers upon arrival is in a run down one room schoolhouse. Taking the job is despite or because of his utter contempt for the indigenous ways of life, he determined to bring the next generation of Seminoles into his vision, a western one, of the twentieth century. Upon meeting him, George and Barbara become enthralled with Johnny Tiger, the grandson of Chief Sam Tiger, a "glade" Indian as opposed to a "reserve" Indian, the former who George deems even more backward than the latter. Parentless Johnny is biracial, his mother white, he long having moved into town in embracing that he does not fit neatly into the white or Indian worlds. Although she doesn't want to, Barbara can't help but be attracted to Johnny's rugged masculinity. George can see Johnny's inherent intelligence and wants to guide him through a scholarship process for a college education. George's interest in Johnny at all cost to prove his point doesn't sit well with Chief Sam, who sees in Johnny his birthright heritage as the next Chief upon his passing, and thus he does whatever he can to get Johnny to move back to the reservation. Added to the mix is Dr. Leslie Frost, the reservation's public health official who helps George navigate his way with the Seminoles in her effort to get him over what she considers his narrow-mindedness.
