The Chippewa maiden Twanda is loved by the Chippewa brave Red Wolf, and also by the Delaware brave Many Feathers. Lone Tree, the maiden's father, favors the suit of Red Wolf, but Twanda loves the Delaware. Lone Tree announces the betrothal of Red Wolf and Twanda, and the little Indian maiden flies to her lover in distress. He comforts her and assures her he will find a way. He appeals to his father. Tired Horse, the Medicine Man of the Delawares, who, against his better judgment--the Chippewas and the Delawares are enemies--sends the brave back loaded with presents to lay his suit before Lone Tree. In council Lone Tree frowns upon him, rejects his suit and Many Feathers returns dejectedly to his father. The day of Twanda's wedding arrives. Unable to bear the ordeal, she runs away. On the mountain top she observes the signal of her lover, who, in a similar frame of mind, seeks consolation in solitude. Twanda replies to his signals and he goes to her side. Meanwhile Lone Tree discovers his daughter's absence and Tired Horse learns of Many Feathers' disappearance. Both parents follow the trails. Lone Tree arrives first, finds the lovers together and in a fury, rushes upon Many Feathers. A brief struggle ensues and Many Feathers is thrown from the cliff, and meets instant death at the bottom. With a cry of despair, Twanda throws herself after her lover and both depart for the Happy Hunting Grounds. Tired Horse arrives, learns what has happened, and. in his terrible rage, visits a curse upon Lone Tree. There, on the mountaintop before the wondering eyes of the watching braves, Lone Tree, in accordance with the curse, dissolves into a lone tree. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
