The Redmen's Persecution (1910)
Into the barracks rides an orderly, bearing a message to the commanding officer that the Indians must be forced to move southward, as the land is to be used for settlers. The officer confers with his soldiers and summons an Indian boy, to whom he gives word to bear to the Indian Chief. Big Hawk sends back the message that his tribe will not move. When this is heard the Indian policemen are called to arrest the defiant chief. At first Big Hawk refuses to listen to the policemen, but finally shows his courage and accompanies them, but leaves orders that Indians are to follow his trail. He still persists in retaining the land and is locked in a small house. To the Indian boy he tells of the others on his trail and at his dictation Little Snow writes that the chief is imprisoned and that they should release him. This Little Snow attaches to an arrow and shoots it through the air. It reaches one Indian, he reads it and shoots it farther, and so it goes until it reaches the camp. The Indians take their arms and rush off. Through Little Snow one or two of the redmen enter the barracks. They overpower the guard and others enter too. The soldiers meantime are up in in arms and a battle takes place. The chief is rescued, but the soldiers drive out their foes. The Indians return to their camp and have a war dance. While at this the soldiers enter and they overcome the Indians. The redmen are obliged to take down their tepees and move onward.
