Not much is known about Dunning, but they advertised this film in "American Cinematographer" magazine. This print has some heat damage, which caused the color dyes to separate, but it is still fairly vivid. The film starts with images of Glacier National Park, home of the Blackfoot Indians. At :41, "Signals are flashed that the dance is on", before a shot of a teepee and braves arriving on horseback to a campsite. At 1:07 a title card indicates that "A white boy is to be made a chieftan". The ceremony is shown at 1:13. At 1:20, a chief speaks to the camera, and braves pose, while the white tourist is initiated. At 2:00, "Two Gun White Calf" is introduced, with the title card stating his "image is on the Buffalo Nickel". More dancing is shown at 2:10 through the end of the film. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.

Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD, 2k and 4k.
