Wikipedia article
'The Yaqui Cur' is a 1913 American silent Western black and white film directed by D. W. Griffith, written by Stanner E.V. Taylor and starring Robert Harron, Kate Bruce, Walter Miller, Charles Hill Mailes and Victoria Forde. Griffith directed seven films with more than one reel, including 'The Yaqui Cur' and 'The Little Tease' (1913).
This film is one of the most ambiguous spatial moments in Griffith's work because the gesture is so forcefully directed outward, and it is considered one of Griffith's most bizarre films. There is a romance between a Native American woman and a white man.
