''Brave Eagle'' is a 26-episode half-hour western television series which aired on CBS from September 28, 1955, to March 14, 1956, with rebroadcasts continuing until June 6. Keith Larsen, who was of Norwegian descent, starred as Brave Eagle, a peaceful young Cheyenne chief. The program was unconventional in that it reflects the Native American viewpoint in the settlement of the American West and was the first series to feature an American Indian as a lead character.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Brave Eagle'' )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Brave Eagle'' (1955) Review Summary )〕 Larsen's co-stars were Kim Winona (1930–1978), a Sioux Indian, as Morning Star, Brave Eagle's romantic interest; Anthony Numkena (born 1942) of Arizona, a Hopi Indian then using the stage name Keena Nomkeena, appeared as Keena, the adopted son of Brave Eagle; Pat Hogan (1920–1966) as Black Cloud, and Bert Wheeler (1895–1968) of the comedy team Wheeler & Woolsey, as the halfbreed Smokey Joe, full of tribal tall tales but accompanying wisdom.〔Alex McNeil, ''Total Television'', New York: Penguin Books, 1996, 4th ed., p. 116〕 The episodes center upon routine activities among the Cheyenne, clashes with other tribes, attempts to prevent war, encroachment from white settlers, racial prejudice, and a threat of smallpox. ==Selected episodes== Selected titles include: *"Blood Brother" (the series premiere) *"The Storm Fool" *"Cry of the Heron" *"Gold of Haunted Mountain" *"Moonfire" *"Code of a Chief" *"Shield of Honor" *"The Strange Animal" (an elephant) *"White Medicine Man" *"Trouble at Medicine Creek" *"Ambush at Arrow Pass"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Brave Eagle'' Episode List )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brave Eagle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
