well, why not do what they did and make the stuff by hand from found items? do a lot of research on what they were made from, haw they were made, then give it a shot, shouldnt cost too much later TOm ------------------ What everyone seems to forget is that once we look past race, religion, gender, and all that, everyone on this planet is first and foremost... ...a PERSON LINKS(added to11/15) |

I would also look for a reservation in your area. Besides gambling facilities, they will probably have a musuem of some sort, or be able to tell you where to find artifacts on display. This should at least supply you with information and "B" roll for narration sequences.Try a theatre group for costuming ideas. ADOM |

well, the theater group idea would work out, i have one around here. but there are no reservations around where i live. the only reason that i ask is because it is due next week.------------------ "i dont feel the need to explain my art to you." -lucas, empire records if ignorance is bliss, why arent there more happy people? -unknown visit my site www.novicepictures.com |

What time is it due next week? If it is early, don't worry about a script, just know the culture and customs, and ad-lib. (Just don't take creative liberties). I don't know a lot about Native Americans myself, but I'm sure that some library books would have a lot to say, especially about what they wore.I hope that I've helped you. ------------------ Never doubt the Red Stranger |

I don't know why I didn't think of this before...look up your local Boyscouts troop. You can probably help them get a badge by having them demonstrate weapon making and use for your film.Check with local schools for contact info. ADOM |
