About An Indian Sunbeam
The accidental overturning of their "prairie schooner" kills a settler and his wife and leaves their little baby girl, Sunbeam, alone in the world. Discovered by Big Wolf, an Indian brave from a nearby tribe, Sunbeam is adopted and brought up as one of their number.
Directed by Gilbert M. Anderson, An Indian Sunbeam leans on a strong ensemble — True Boardman, Edna Sharpe, Fred Church — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1912.

Ivey fights back with violence and destruction, but Dave is determined to counter him legally... a feeling not shared by his associates.
