Dear friends, or shall I say, the Nitrateville Street Irrequlars :D

I am looking for a barely mentioned film by the famed American Indian photographer Edward S. Curtis called SEEING AMERICA. This film was released in February 1916 and was shot in Yellowstone and Yosemite parks. It got a rave review in MOVING PICTURE WORLD seen here at http://www.archive.org/stream/movingpic ... 8/mode/2up and has not been heard from since. As it sounds like an educational title, I don't know how many people would go looking for the film, but it is obviously an important work by an imposing figure in 21st century photography and film. Any hints, news, clues, or be still my beating heart, a discovery, would greatly be appreciated!

Sorry Dennis, no information on the film you were asking about, but does this mean a possible DVD release of In the Land of the War Canoes is coming?

You might contact some of the fine art galleries that deal in his photos.

This gallery in Seattle has been specializing in his work for at least 20 years:

Just a suggestion, but you might contact the Gene Autry museum. I saw IN THE LAND OF THE WAR CANOES there when it (the museum) first opened. Perhaps....
