However, once the Indians are provoked into uprising, they are brutal: killing men, women and children indiscriminately. (And scalping Bragg, who as the one who triggered the war.)

* InjunCountry: The Indians are a background threat through most of the movie, with rumours of attacks and deaths filtering in to town. Then Bragg provokes them into a full-scale uprising. Interestingly, early on Dance observes that the land was originally the Indians and that folks would do well to remember that in their dealings with them: an enlightened sentiment for both the time the movie is set ''and'' the time it was made.

''Canyon Passage'' is a 1946 Technicolor Western film directed by Jacques Tourneur and set in frontier Oregon. It stars Dana Andrews, Susan Hayward and Brian Donlevy.
In 1856, backwoods businessman Logan Stuart escorts Lucy Overmire, his friend's fiancée, back home to remote Jacksonville, Oregon; in the course of the hard journey, Lucy is attracted to Logan, whose heart seems to belong to another. Once arrived in Jacksonville, a welter of subplots involve villains, fair ladies, romantic triangles, gambling fever, murder, a cabin-raising, and vigilantism... culminating with an Indian uprising that threatens all the settlers.
!!''Canyon Passage'' contains examples of:
* ChairmanOfTheBrawl: During his fight with Bragg in the saloon, Logan smashes a chair over Bragg's head.
* TheGamblingAddict: George is a compulsive gambler. Logan and Lucy both try to get him to stop, but to no avail.
* GrievousBottleyHarm: When Bragg tries to jump Logan in the barroom, Logan is ready for and smashes a full bottle of whiskey over his head.
* KangarooCourt: When George is accused of murder, he is tried by a miner's court that has no legal standing: something Jonas, the town's lawyer, keeps pointing out. He is found guilty anyway.
* OutdoorBathPeeping: After Bragg ambushes Logan and Lucy in the forest, he comes across two Indian girls bathing in a pool. He later murders (and probably rapes) one of them
* RapeDiscretionShot: When Bragg comes upon the Indian girls bathing in the pool, he is seen advancing on them with a lecherous look on his face before the shot cuts. The next we hear is that Bragg had murdered an Indian girl, and it is hard to imagine he did not rape her first.
* SceneryPorn: Logan and Lucy's journey from Portsmouth to Jacksonville seems designed to showcase as much of Oregon's marvelous wilderness as possible.
* StealingFromTheTill: George pilfers gold dust from the express office safe to cover his gambling debts.
* SuperWindowJump: When Bragg exits Logan's hotel room via the window, he doesn't bother to open it first. He does not escape completely unscathed as the next time he is seen, he is limping.
