This website is devoted to the Edward Curtis film In the Land of the Head Hunters made in Fort Rupert, BC in about 1914. The site includes a synopsis of the film, a discussion on the making of the film and its significance from a history of film perspective. It also includes pages with some un-restored clips from the original film and audio clips of songs sung by dancers in the movie. The site is fascinating and I am still traveling through it. For me, the site is of particular interest since my analytic paper involves an examination of film about and by indigenous cultures. The information here allows for some great historical comparisons.
