Trivia
The film was begun in 1919 and finished in 1920. For some unknown reason it was never released, and was thought to have been lost. However, in 2005 an original silver nitrate print turned up, and it was purchased by the Oklahoma Historical Society, which embarked on a painstaking restoration project. The film was finally restored and premiered in Oklahoma in 2012.

Quotes
[first lines]
Kiowa Chief: Go in search of White Eagle and learn whether he has seen the game we have long been looking for. Our women and children can go hungry no longer.

5/10

The story behind distribution is false.

Several articles including a Wiki Article claim this was only shows for a very short period in California. Simple research shows this movie was shown nationwide on it's release. I heard of it because one of the persons who held the distribution rights was a cousin of my grandfather.Heath and Banks held the Southern Distribution rights and first ran it in Dublin, Swainsboro, Claxton and Millen Georgia. That was followed up by dozens of other theaters in South Georgia then all over Georgia. It also ran in Alabama and Florida at the same time.
