Silent Film About Indigenous People of British Columbia to Be Shown
“In the Land of the Head Hunters,” a 1914 silent film fictionalizing the world of the Kwakwaka’wakw peoples of the Queen Charlotte Strait region of the Central Coast of British Columbia, will be shown 7-9 p.m. Thursday at the First United Methodist Church, Centralia.
The film was written and directed by Edward S. Curtis and acted entirely by Kwakwaka’wakw native people. Selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
The story of love and revenge among the Kwakwaka’wakw of British Columbia, Motana, the son of a great chief, goes on a vigil journey. Through fasting and hardships he hopes to gain supernatural strength that will make him a chief as powerful as his father. Curtis showcases the Kwakwaka’wakw’s magnifcent war canoes, totem poles, rituals, costumes and dancing.
The video will followed by one hour of discussion about the treatment of indigenous people during the history of the United States.
Everyone is invited and welcome to share their thoughts. If possible it is recommended to read “An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States,” by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, prior to the program.
