An Indian Love Story

An Indian Love Story is a one-reel silent short film about personal relationships in a Native American community.

It is a western drama released in 1911 and directed by Fred J. Balshofer and was produced by Bison (a brand name under the New York Motion Picture Company).

[2] Previously, Lillian St. Cyr, a Winnebago Indian, had appeared in Kalem's The White Squaw and Lubin's The Falling Arrow.

A suggestion was made that the Native Americans were of Crow Indian descent and resided on their Wyoming reservation.

[citation needed] But in 1911, Bison was in southern California and filmed this story in or near Los Angeles and used local actors from their own stock company.
