Brave Eagle

Overview

Brave Eagle is a 26-episode half-hour western television series which aired on CBS from September 28, 1955, to March 14, 1956, with rebroadcasts continuing until June 6. Keith Larsen, who was of Norwegian descent, starred as Brave Eagle, a peaceful young Cheyenne chief.

The program was unconventional in that it

⁕ reflects the Native American viewpoint in the settlement of the American West and

⁕ was the first series to feature an American Indian as a lead character.

Larsen's co-stars were Kim Winona, a Sioux Indian, as Morning Star, Brave Eagle's romantic interest; Anthony Numkena of Arizona, a Hopi Indian then using the stage name Keena Nomkeena, appeared as Keena, the adopted son of Brave Eagle; Pat Hogan as Black Cloud, and Bert Wheeler of the comedy team Wheeler & Woolsey, as the halfbreed Smokey Joe, full of tribal tall tales but accompanying wisdom.

The episodes center upon routine activities among the Cheyenne, clashes with other tribes, attempts to prevent war, encroachment from white settlers, racial prejudice, and a threat of smallpox.

Overview

Penna di Falco è un giovane capo indiano della tribù Cheyenne che cerca di evitare gli scontri con gli altri gruppi di indiani, l'invasione dei coloni bianchi, e il pregiudizio razziale nei confronti dei nativi. Non esita ad aiutare i bianchi quando occorre: nel primo episodio aiuta un ufficiale dell'esercito ad indagare sull'omicidio di uno dei suoi uomini perché sospetta che l'autore possa essere qualcuno della sua tribù; nel secondo episodio cerca di salvare la vita ad un colono bianco che è stato catturato da un indiano.
