Warning: Spoilers
This is a very well-written and very well-directed episode of The X-Files, and despite having a low television budget, it's very effective.

A rancher shoots a creature attacking his son. But instead of a creature they find s young Native American's body.

Mulder and Scully are brought in to investigate, taking them into Native American territory for the first time, and many more times to come over the course of the series. At first the Native Americans aren't very helpful. But eventually an old Native American opens up to Mulder after a second death, the rancher's, seeing Mulder's more open to things then most people.

Based on Native American lore, Mulder, Ish and the Sheriff believe the dead Native American's sister has become the creature and killed the rancher. Or did she? Watch the episode to find out the truth.
