Cheyenne Autumn Trail
Cheyenne Autumn Trail
Structured as a complementary social and historical companion piece to John Ford's final western Cheyenne Autumn (1964), this documentary short intersperses clips from the big-screen epic with background information about the Northern Cheyenne Exodus of 1878–1879 and contrasts it with life on the Cheyenne reservation in 1964, as a tribal chief, a tribal beauty queen, and a tribal adolescent take a drive along the route of the 19th-century trek.
