Red Wing (born Lilian Margaret St. Cyr; February 23, 1884[1] – March 13, 1974) was an American actress of the silent era. She and her husband James Young Deer have been dubbed by some as one of the first Native American Hollywood "power couple(s)" along with Mona Darkfeather and her actor/director husband Frank E. Montgomery.[2][3][4] St. Cyr was born on the Winnebago Reservation in Nebraska.
