In 1914, Edward Sheriff Curtis produced a 47 minute silent movie entitled, "In the Land of the Head Hunters". This was the first feature in history to use an all-indigenous North American cast. The Kwakwaka'wakw culture is shared in this story of love, deception and honor. In 1973, Bill Holm and George Quimby produced an entirely new soundtrack using Kwakwaka'wakw consultants and cast and released their sound version entitled, "In the Land of the War Canoes."
