Perhaps this picture illustrates what sometimes happened preceding a massacre of whites by Indians. Where the whites, unwittingly or otherwise, trampled upon the customs of the Indians, or when they trifled with their affections substantially the same thing followed as would have followed similar occurrences on the part of the whites. When this chief sold his daughter to the whites he violated the troth of herself and her lover, and when she was pursued by the whites she killed herself rather than fall into their hands. In vengeance the young brave wipes out the company of settlers and lays the trophies upon his sweetheart's grave. While an element of sadness pervades this type of picture it is educational since it illustrates certain racial traits which were no doubt influential in the times when massacres and reprisals were common. - The Moving Picture World, October 1, 1910
