Shot in 1920 in the Wichita Mountains of southwest Oklahoma with a cast entirely made up of members of the Comanche and Kiowa tribes, this silent film was directed by Norbert A. Myles and screened publicly only twice before disappearing without a trace for nearly a century. The Indigenous actors, who in 1920 had been living on reservations for less than sixty years, brought their own tipis, horses, clothing, and material culture with them.

Filmmaker Tweesna Rose Mills presents a revisionist take on the film, interweaving original footage with new imagery and soundscapes to invite viewers to experience the work through a modern lens.
