The Indian Maid's Warning (1913)

Starlight, a young Indian girl, is sent to gather wood for the camp. She meets Dick, a young settler, who befriends her and wins her gratitude, which ripens into love. White Eagle, a jealous Indian brave, spies upon Dick and watches him from the brush. The settler unfortunately mistakes the Indian's headdress for a bird and kills him with his rifle. In order to shield Dick, Starlight covers the Indian's body with branches, but later she is drawn by her superstitions to visit the spot. The Indians discover the body of the dead brave and declare war on the white men. Seeing the Indians depart on the warpath, Starlight makes a desperate ride to warn Dick. A terrific battle takes place and the Indians are routed, but not until Starlight has given up her life in defense of the settlers.
