Possible identification of "Haida dance film"

[David Lewis]

Klahowya,

"What I saw was extremely grainy, grayish and scratched; it would be super
if someone someday applied modern digital restoration technique to it."

Due to the way the film way probably produced, the romanticist nature of it,
its Hollywood staging, and its fanciful depiction of Northwest Indians, I
would not personally advocate for a digital reproduction to be made of this
film. While it may hold some fascination for many of an early example, if
not the earliest example, of filming of Indian people, it does not really
deserve to be saved and thus perpetuated for following generations in a more
accessible format. The film and its creator Curtis do not do justice to the
Native people here, and is a great example of ethnocentric perceptions of
indigenous people and societies that is most wrong with anthropology,
history and other disciplines. Let the film remain as it is, a marker of a
simpler time among American scientists...
