Curtis traveled extensively throughout the Northwest Coast of the United States and British Columbia during his fieldwork for The North American Indian. He was particularly fascinated with the Kwakiutl, a spectacular maritime people of the coast of British Columbia. In 1914 Curtis wrote and produced his first full-length motion picture, a drama based on a Kwakiutl legend and entitled In the Land of the Head Hunters. The first screening took place at the Casino Theater in New York and was a great success. Click to continue
