Unseen silent film of the real Buffalo Bill in color.

William F. Cody (aka Buffalo Bill) using Plains Indian Sign language to converse with Oglala Lakota Chief Iron Tail. Originally filmed in black and white for the Thomas Edison Co. between the years of 1907 and 1910. Artist Matt Loughrey of 'My Colorful Past' undertook to colorize the footage using a brand new process. The translation is as follows: "Buffalo Bill offers a cigar in exchange for horses to gallop through the meadows. He then says he will give a bottle of old whiskey bourbon, crop of 1889. Iron tail makes you believe and pretends to drink. He says he also wants a lot of seeds to plant corn and then resell to the factory and just one more request, a winchester rifle to settle with the invaders of the indigenous lands. Deal closed."
