Spirit Dance


Spirit Dance - video powered by Metacafe

This is one of the earliest surviving pieces of footage ever made! I love this clip although it ain't so popular up at Met ... but poignant schtuff methinks.

Man, one of them injuns loves that new fangled moving picture capturer thingy. He was born too early! Seemingly they all worked at the Wild Bill Hickcock Show and they brought in the cameras to film them one day. Now that show woulda been one to see!

This of course was a silent clip so I added a few whoops n' hollers to it for fun.

Dedicated to one of my heros Mr. Thomas Edison, who we all have to thank for this roight :), and to the Spirits in the Sky!
