LAWTON, Okla_One of the
first silent films shot entirely in Oklahoma
with an all Native American cast will return to the screen Thursday night.

Mountains in 1920. It was
later screened in Los Angeles
and two other venues before disappearing for almost 85 years. Since 2003, local
and state historical societies have worked to restore the film. A musical score
was also added by the Oklahoma City
University orchestra.
Tribal elders
and the public will get to see the finished product at Cameron University.
The film starts
at 7, but doors to the university theatre open at 6:15. It is free.
