Description:
"Buffalo Dance," considered the earliest film depicting Native American culture, features actual members of the Sioux Tribe. Shot in the early days of filmmaking at Edison's Black Maria studios by William K.L. Dickson and William Heise, the film captures dancers believed to be veterans from Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. The dancers are Hair Coat, Parts His Hair, and Last Horse. The footage is notable for the performers’ initial stillness before beginning their dance, with some occasionally looking at the camera with a poignant expression – a subtle reflection of the cultural upheaval faced by Native Americans at the time.
