Summary:	Traces the history of anthropological depictions of the Hamat'sa or Cannibal Dance, and, through the return of archival materials to a First Nations community, presents some of the ways in which diverse attitudes toward this history inform current performances of the Hamat'sa. With a secondary focus on the filmmaker's fieldwork experience, the film also attends specifically to the ethics of ethnographic representation and to the renegotiation of relationships between anthropologists, museums and their research subjects. Filmed during the course of research for Glass's dissertation in Socio-Cultural Anthropology.
