De wigwam
Summary
When a farmer and his wife come home from the station, they give their children the presents they have brought with them from town. The homecoming is disturbed by an Indian boy who comes begging. He is chastised and chased away by the farmer. In revenge for this, the boy's father, the bad Indian Black Eagle, kidnaps the farmer's youngest daughter. Hearing of this, the good Indian Burning Shaft goes in pursuit, shoots and scalps the kidnapper and brings the little girl back to her family. Afterwards, the grateful family takes presents to Burning Shaft and, sitting outside his wigwam, they together smoke the pipe of peace.
