Return to the Land of the Head Hunters. Edward S. Curtis, the Kwakwaka'wakw, and the Making of Modern Cinema, Hardback/***

Influential but often neglected in historical accounts, this spectacular melodrama was an intercultural product of Curtis' encounter and collaboration with the Kwakwaka'wakw of British Columbia. This book offers Kwakwaka'wakw perspectives on the film, and accounts of its production and subsequent circulation.
