If you've ever seen old black and white footage of aboriginals in large canoes
wearing incredible animal costumes and dancing around wildly, its probably a
scene from this movie.
In this film, Curtis retold a tribal story of love and revenge among the Kwakiutl
tribe of Vancouver Island. Edward Curtis lived with the Kawakiutl tribe on
Vancouver Island for 3 years, the culmination being the making of this film which
is a ficitionalized account of life before contact with any other races.
This is a stunning movie folks, I highly recommend checking it out.
Originally titled "In the Land of the Headhunters."
