The Daughter of Dawn

The Daughter of Dawn tells the story of a Kiowa woman caught in a love triangle involving her brave lover and a jealous rival, set against the backdrop of Comanche warriors. This film is particularly notable for its representation of Native American culture and stories, a rarity in early cinema.

Originally completed in 1920, the film was only shown a few times before being considered lost to history. In 2005, five reels of the movie were rediscovered, leading to a restoration by the Oklahoma Historical Society in 2012. This makes it an interesting piece for collectors who focus on silent films or films with significant historical context.
