★★★★★ · Wow! · epeterd · 2022-01-28
Really cool film of actor/soldier Tim McCoy interpreting the sign language story of the Piegan Indians splitting into the Blackfoot and Blood bands. It's an interesting story and McCoy does a wonderful job of interpreting the signs, explaining their meanings, and telling the story. The first several minutes of the film are narrated by Ronald Colman.

At entertaining look into Indian culture. B-Western star Tim Mccoy visits a Indian powwow, and joins a chief telling a story about how different Indian tribes got their name. She interprets Indian sign language story for us, and it's actually quite entertaining, for Mccoy puts a lot of gusto in the interpretation.
