The Indian Captive is a dramatic incident taken from the actual
history of the Seneca Indians. A little brave pioneer girl is captured by
Indians and taken to their camp by Chief Cornplanter. At the Indian camp
she is regarded with distrust, and there is a gripping and dramatic
scene where her courage is tested by fire. When her spirit proves firm,
she is adopted with high ceremony into the Seneca tribe. The Senecas
teach her their ways and customs and grow to love her—so much, that when
Eleanor's mother comes to seek her, they disguise Eleanor and threaten
to kill her mother if the child makes any sign of recognition. There is a
tense scene where Eleanor keeps faith with the Indians while longing to
make some sign of love to her mother. Chief Cornplanter finally
realizes that her happiness lies with her own people, and with a heavy
heart he lets her go.
