Summary:
Shot on location in the Wichita Mountains of southwest Oklahoma in 1920, this rediscovered film was restored by the Oklahoma Historical Society. It features an all Native American cast of 300 Kiowa and Comanche Indians, including White Parker and Wanada Parker (children of Quanah Parker). Focusing on a romantic rivalry, the story also features a battle scene, buffalo hunting, and dances. The restored version includes a modern score and titles.
