message: I think Curtis' only motion picture, "In the Land of the Headhunters", deserves a brief discussion. It is mentioned in the time line, but this work was exceptional and its significance may be debated. It predates the landmark documentary "Nanook of the North", and it is a similar type of film. Nanook of the North is commonly considered the first feature length documentary, although it is criticized for staging many scenes and scenarios. In the Land of the Headhunters was not a documentary proper, as it told a story from Kwakiutl legend, but this was presented as an ethnographic subject, and it is known that Robert Flaherty visited Curtis and viewed his film before he made Nanook. The only known print of Curtis' film was damaged in a fire. The remaining footage was reconstructed in 1972 and re-titled "In the Land of the War Canoes", by the scholars who reconstructed it. It is an amazing artifact and it is the only reason I know who Edward S. Curtis is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.68.138 (talk) 22:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

message: "In fact, it is doubtful that Curtis did anything disreputable or intentionally misleading considering his lifelong dilligence to this art. His obvious intention was to showcase the American Indian in "their own element" as accurately as possible which provided the only credible motive to his removing Western materials, e.g. "a clock", from his photographs which were out of place anachronistically with "pure" Indian culture. The same motivation can be applied to costuming and posing of the native Americans which, contrary to his intention of exposé, gave the impression of idealism beyond his actual intention of realism, albeit euphemistic."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.117.92.237 (talk) 17:10, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
