Minnie Devereaux (c. 1869–1923) was an American silent film actress. She was a member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma.[3]
More commonly known as Minnie Provost and occasionally "Indian Minnie", or "Minnie Ha-Ha", she held at least 14 roles, beginning in 1913 with Old Mammy’s Secret Code and ending with the 1923 release of The Girl of the Golden West.[4] A few sources say she was a Cheyenne and the daughter of a Chief Plenty Horses.[5] However, her father is often confused with Plenty Horses who was Lakota and born the same year as Minnie. In a 1917 interview published in the Mack Sennett Weekly Provost states that she was born to Cheyenne parents who fled G. A. Custer's Army during the Battle of the Little Bighorn, an event that took place when she was eight years old.[3]
