In 'Dances with Wolves', what is the name of the Sioux warrior who becomes a friend?

In Dances with Wolves, the Sioux warrior who becomes a friend is Wind In His Hair.

Played by Rodney A. Grant, Wind In His Hair first approaches Lieutenant John Dunbar with suspicion. Dunbar’s isolation at the frontier post gradually brings him into contact with the nearby Lakota community, and repeated encounters turn hostility into trust and friendship.

Wind In His Hair is a warrior and one of the film’s most memorable Lakota characters. He is outspoken, brave, and initially wary of Dunbar’s identity as a white U.S. Army officer. Their relationship develops alongside Dunbar’s friendships with Kicking Bird, a respected spiritual and political leader, and the young member of the community known as Smiles A Lot.

The names in the answer choices are easy to confuse. Stands With a Fist is the interpreter and Dunbar’s romantic partner, Kicking Bird is the influential leader who helps accept Dunbar, and Ten Bears is a senior chief. Wind In His Hair is the character who declares at the film’s end that Dunbar is his friend.
