How it feels
This short film uses clips from a western epic and new footage to compare the 19th century Cheyenne exodus with life on a reservation in 1964. A chief, a beauty queen, and an adolescent take a car trip along the historical route, and James Stewart narrates the story of the tribe's journey.

What happens
Cheyenne Autumn Trail is a 19-minute live action American film produced in color for distribution in late 1964, with narration by James Stewart. Structured as a complementary social and historical companion piece to John Ford's final western, Cheyenne Autumn, it intersperses clips from the big-screen epic with background information about the Northern Cheyenne Exodus of 1878–79 and contrasts it with life on the Cheyenne reservation in 1964, as a tribal chief, a tribal beauty queen and a tribal adolescent take a drive along the route of the 19th-century trek.
