Saskatchewan is a 1954 adventure movie directed by Raoul Walsh and based on an original story by Gil Doud. The film stars Alan Ladd and Shelley Winters. The story is set in 1877 in northern Canada. North-West Mounted Police Inspector Thomas O'Rourke (Alan Ladd) and his Cree sworn brother Cajou (Jay Silverheels) encounter remains of wagon train, massacred and burned by some native tribe; Grace Markey (Shelley Winters) is a sole survivor. Incompetent Superintendent Benton (Robert Douglas) believes that attackers were Cree and orders to disarm the tribe. O'Rourke has to find the truth not only about the attack but also about the shady past of Grace with whom he falls in love.
The following weapons were used in the film Saskatchewan:
Some Sioux warriors and NWMP constables carry Winchester Model 1892 rifles or carbines, visually modified to resemble earlier Winchesters (most similar to Winchester Model 1876 in musket configuration). Similar props can be seen in various Western movies, like Drum Beat.
