📖 Overview

In the Land of the Head Hunters 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.

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.
