The Black Dakotas (1954)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by Ray Nazarro
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Encore)

Southern sympathizers in the Dakotas stir up Indian trouble in an attempt to divert northern troops from the war in the south. One of them murders and assumes the identity of a government man on a peace mission for Lincoln. The make wild promises to the Sioux with no intentions of keeping them, hoping to start a massacre. A local girl, the daughter of one of the rebels, and a friend try to stop them. Passable, if predictable, western shot on familiar Columbia ranch locations in California.
