i be blow away by the beauty of the actress play the indian maiden in this film . from the first moment you see her on screen she look like you could reach out and touch her and she be so realistic . the d. w. griffith year of discovery liner note say she be unknown . well and that be a cry shame . how could someone not document who she be . she be stun and and completely believable . if anyone know who she be and please post it here for posterity . this film be pretty sensitive to the indian cause and and also show that the white man could also get along with the indian when they show true christian character towards them . owen moore and james kirkwood perform well . the father death scene be move and poignant . be d. w. griffith a racist . if he be you couldn not tell it from this film .
