They showed this as part of a Kirk Douglas tribute on TV.
A pity this soundtrack isn't available. I tried to use the search function here to find some info on it, but can't get anything to show up.
I know only of a brief section included as a part of a re-recorded suite of three Waxman scores (part of the old and not very good Legends of Hollywood set from Varese).
Is the original soundtrack lost?

Pop "the indian fighter" in the search terms (quotes included). You should get 10 threads.

United Artists 1955. I guess little chance that there is anything of it.

There are written scores and some excerpts on tape in the Franz Waxman collection:

I wouldn't expect too much, though.

It blows me away to know that (according to son John Waxman) he supposedly wrote this score concurrently with THE SPIRIT OF ST. LOUIS.

While the film was distributed through United Artists the film was made by Douglas' Bryna Productions. I doubt the music tracks still exist unless they are in the Douglas house.

Victor Young's niece, Bobbie Hill Fromberg, has said on this message board that Victor Young very often scored two films at the same time. Young had two pianos facing each other, he sat on a revolving stool and twisted around and scored the two films together! He did this for many years!

It's one of the three scores featured in "The Pioneer Suite".

Program Notes:
“The Pioneer Suite” opens with music from William Dieterle/John Farrow’s Red Mountain (Paramount, 1951) and follows the Alan Ladd character through the stormy period following the Civil War. With a change in mood, the music from Cimarron (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1960), directed by Anthony Mann, is heard. Based on Edna Ferber’s novel, the film chronicles the settlement of the Oklahoma territory in 1889 (as portrayed on screen by Glenn Ford, Maria Schell and Anne Baxter). The suite concludes with sweeping music from Andre De Toth’s The Indian Fighter (United Artists, 1955). In this western, the on screen characters, played by Kirk Douglas, Walter Matthau and Elsa Martinelli, search for gold leads them to find peace among the untamed beauty of the far west.

Well, it isn't the whole score, but a small taste of it.
