Not in itself a masterpiece of cinema, it's a creditable, professional effort that's most fascinating for its preservation of artifacts provided by the actors. Go to Full Review

Nick M 11/17/2024 Shot by an independent filmmaker using an all American Indian cast, Daughter of Dawn is an important historical artifact, but is of little interest when judged as an artistic work of cinema. Few in the cast emote at all, so most of the performances are dry as can be. The plot is serviceable, though boilerplate, and the directing doesn't have much spark. See more 09/30/2015 A seemingly forever lost silent and an intriguing love triangle between a tribe of American Indians. Was lost for 85 years & found by a Private Detective who sold the film to Oklahoma Historical Society. The larger part of the cast where actual American Indian People so the film has a distinct authenticity about it. Although the plot was simple the photography of the land, costumes & tee-pees where fantastic. The American Indians where a fascinating people & this coveys it. See more Read all reviews
