Plot summary

The Daughter of Dawn is a silent Western, and one of the few films of the silent era to have an entirely Native American cast. It tells the story of a Kiowa woman and her lover, his feats of bravery, and their trials at the hands of a jealous rival and Comanche warriors. Completed in 1920, it was only shown a few times before being considered lost. Five reels of the movie were found in 2005, and restored by the Oklahoma Historical Society in 2012.

A seemingly forever lost silent and an intriguing

A seemingly forever lost silent and an intriguing love triangle between a tribe of American Indians. Was lost for 85 years & found by a Private Detective who sold the film to Oklahoma Historical Society. The larger part of the cast where actual American Indian People so the film has a distinct authenticity about it. Although the plot was simple the photography of the land, costumes & tee-pees where fantastic. The American Indians where a fascinating people & this coveys it.

Shot by an independent filmmaker using an all

Shot by an independent filmmaker using an all American Indian cast, Daughter of Dawn is an important historical artifact, but is of little interest when judged as an artistic work of cinema. Few in the cast emote at all, so most of the performances are dry as can be. The plot is serviceable, though boilerplate, and the directing doesn't have much spark.
