One of these colonies is Doran V, where American Indians have found a new home after they have escaped the cultural assimilation on Earth. Wesley is on a visit to the Enterprise. He is dissatisfied with his life as a Starfleet cadet, and he is surprised when the Indian Lakanta tells him that he should find his own way. Wesley goes on a vision quest. When he learns of the plan to remove the settlers, he tells them the truth, which infuriates Picard. But Wesley has made up his mind and resigns from Starfleet.
