"Snake Tattoo" features Daryl Masters (third of eight) as villainous Sarge Kronen, whose former mining partner, Ned Weaver (Tommy Tweed), has raised an Indian boy as his son for many years. Now an adult, Cohalla (Fred Euringer, second of three) learns that his actual father is Chief Saganwa (Richmond Nairne, first of two), of the friendly Cree tribe, whose secret silver mine is coveted by Kronen, who wants both Weaver and Cohalla dead so he can pass off the imposter Blackfoot (Bonar Stuart) as Saganwa's son. Beaver (Bob Vanstone, second of three) confirms to Hawkeye that his Cree village is now fully controlled by the feared Hurons, so our heroes have their hands full keeping Cohalla safe from harm as they attempt to reunite father and son. Lon Chaney gets more to do than usual, recognizing Cohalla's silver neckpiece as that of 'Indian of noble birth,' proof of his heritage by the matching snake tattoo on his chest.

Snake Tattoo
Prismark1012 July 2020
Hawkeye and Chingachcook arrive just in time to save a young native Indian boy who is being chased after by another native Indian.
Cohalla has been raised by a white man Ned Weaver who is killed by his former mining partner. Cohalla was taken as a young boy, his father is Chief Saganwa of the Cree tribe who have access to a silver mine.
Sarge the former mining partner plans to have another native Indian pass as Chief Saganwa's long lost son so he can get his hands on the silver mine.
The Chief is dying but knows enough that the impersonator is not his son. He is from a rival tribe and the Chief is just buying time.
There is a lot of foreboding incidental music in this one. Danger always lurks around the corner. Both Hawkeye and Chingachcook are in peril or come in time to rescue others who are at risk.
Young Cohalla shows enough bravery to demonstrate to his real father that he is worthy of being of noble birth.

Something about this episode went deep within me and I enjoyed it the most of all the episodes. It's of a Native American young man that has grown up with a white father that adopted him at a very young age. The young man learns of his true heritage and birthright - it's up to our heroes to help this family before it's too late.
