In the Land of the Head Hunters

''In the Land of the Head Hunters'' (also called ''In the Land of the War Canoes'') is a 1914 silent film fictionalizing the world of the Kwakwaka'wakw (Kwakiutl) peoples of the Queen Charlotte Strait region of the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada, written and directed by Edward S. Curtis and acted entirely by Kwakwaka'wakw natives.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Web site for ''In the Land of the Head Hunters'' re-release, a joint project of U'mista and Rutgers University )
It was selected in 1999 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Films selected to the National Film Registry, Library of Congress 1989-2005 )〕 It was the first feature-length film whose cast was composed entirely of Native North Americans; the second, eight years later, was Robert Flaherty's ''Nanook of the North''.〔 It was the first feature film made in British Columbia, and is the oldest surviving feature film made in Canada.
==Original release==
Earlier, Curtis had experimented with multimedia. In 1911 he created a stage show, with slides, a lecture and live musical accompaniment, called ''The Indian Picture Opera''. He used stereopticon projectors, where two projectors dissolved back and forth between images. This was his prelude to entering the motion picture era.
The film opened in New York City and Seattle, Washington in December 1914, with live performances of a score by John J. Braham. Braham had access to wax cylinder recordings of Kwakwaka'wakw music, and the promotional campaign at the time suggested that his score was based on these; in fact, there were few snatches of Kwakwaka'wakw music in the score. Although critically praised, the film was a commercial failure.〔Aaron Glass, Brad Evans, Andrea Sanborn, Project statement, p. 2-3 of the program for presentation of ''In the Land of the Head Hunters'', Moore Theatre, Seattle, Washington, June 10, 2008.〕
