Comanche - Tumblr Posts
When an entire culture spends hundreds or thousands of years doing the exact same to solve a problem it’s very much almost definitely 100% because it actually fucking works. That’s why we brush our hair with combs and brushes and not sticks or some shit. Our super smart and hard working ancestors figured all that stuff out for us and then spent centuries perfecting it and understanding it. IMO Native Americans in particular were so much better at finding out the most effective solution to complex problems like removing poison from a bite or not getting killed by bison all the time which if you’ve ever seen one up close is something I really think we should be giving them more credit for cuz like they didn’t have guns like whitey did and they had to live with those giant bulldozers too. Bull moose scare me but bison scare me more.
Omg that reminds me, Prey was a really good movie and I watched it only in the Comanche dub and it was so much more immersive. This is why literacy is so important guys. If a scene is taking place in a Viking settlement in New England I don’t wanna hear them speaking English. I wanna hear whatever the fuck the closest extant language is and then read the subtitles. Also indigenous culture plus sci fi horror fucking rocks I need more.
Lost silent film with all-Native American cast found
The Daughter of Dawn, an 80-minute feature film, was shot in July of 1920 in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge near Lawton, southwest Oklahoma. It was unique in the annals of silent film (or talkies, for that matter) for having a cast of 300 Comanches and Kiowas who brought their own clothes, horses, tipis, everyday props and who told their story without a single reference to the United States Cavalry. It was a love story, a four-person star-crossed romance that ends with the two main characters together happily ever after. There are two buffalo hunt sequences with actual herds of buffalo being chased down by hunters on bareback just as they had done on the Plains 50 years earlier.
The male lead was played by White Parker; another featured female role was played by Wanada Parker. They were the son and daughter of the powerful Comanche chief Quanah Parker, the last of the free Plains Quahadi Comanche warriors. He never lost a battle to United States forces, but, his people sick and starving, he surrendered at Fort Sill in 1875. Quanah was the son of Comanche chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, the daughter of Euro-American settlers who had grown up in the tribe after she was kidnapped as a child by the Comanches who killed her parents. She was the model for Stands With a Fist in Dances with Wolves.
You can watch the first ten minutes of the film here. It is over 90 years old, and was produced by, directed by, and stars only Native American people.
