Really would like to find this movie. I haven't seen it since i was a kid, so bear with me.
It involved a troop of U.S. Calvary and hostile Indians. The troop needed water, and there was an Indian woman who claimed to know where water could be found. The main protagonist didn't wear a military uniform like the others (I think) and he trusted the Indian woman. The Indian woman successfully leads the troop to water.
At the end of the movie, hundreds of the hostile Indians surround the fort. The protagonist is wounded and lying in the desert sand in between the foot and the Indians. The Indian woman goes out and helps the protagonist to his feet, puts one of his arms over her shoulder, and slowly walks him back to the fort. But one of the Indians shoots her in the back. I think the protagonist carries her back to the fort as full-on battle begins between the Indians and calvary.
The movie is dated either late 60s or early 70s. Anybody know this one?

maybe "
Fort Massacre (1958)
"?
FORT MASSACRE (1958) takes a standard "lost patrol" war movie plot and adapts it to 1879 New Mexico and a tale of remnants of an embattled cavalry platoon who have to make it through hundreds of miles of hostile desert terrain while fighting off roving bands of Apaches. The members of the platoon gripe and take issue with McCrea over the risks he makes them take, including the decision to attack a large band of Apaches who've taken over a needed waterhole. McCrea is driven by a hatred of the Apaches, who'd killed his wife, and his men are concerned that his emotions are coloring his decision making.
Also in the cast are third-billed Susan Cabot (THE WASP WOMAN) in a small role as a Paiute Indian girl hiding out in the cliff dwelling with her grandfather, Francis L. McDonald (NORTHWEST MOUNTED POLICE).

That movie is a little too old. I checked it out anyway, but unfortunately that's not it. I don't think the movie I'm looking for is any older than the mid-1960s. Most likely late 60s to early 70s.
