synopsis
Filmed near Selig's Hollywood headquarters, Daughter of the Sioux was set in 1868. A cavalry outpost is threatened with decimation from a hostile Sioux tribe. Saving the soldiers from this grisly fate is a Sioux maiden, who has fallen in love with one of the cavalrymen. The outcome of the film is unknown, but chances are that the heroine lays down her own life to save that of her white sweetheart. The Variety reviewer was openly contemptuous of the film, complaining that the sets were so flimsily constructed that it was a wonder the Sioux didn't merely set fire to everything, thereby ending the battle before it began.
