Buster Keaton: The Paleface 1922

Evil oil barons have given the Indians one day to vacate their land. The Indian chief tells his braves to kill the first white man they see. Buster shows up chasing a butterfly. Later he keeps moving the stake to which he is tied and at which he is to be burned. He becomes one of the tribe and helps them with their fight. Pretty good short comedy. The Indians are portrayed in an occasionally silly but definitely sympathetic light.
