Am looking for any information available on a young woman, Soon-Goot, (probably not a real name) who was 17 yrs. old when she starred in a 1913 Frank Moore film, Hiawatha--earliest known moving picture with all-Indian cast.

I'm sure you've read the Wikipedia piece on the film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiawatha_(1913_film)

But according to them, Soon-Goot was an unknown 17 year-old actress. So my guess is that she was just someone pulled from the Seneca people that fit the bill. She may have never done anything after the 1913 film. It's going to be tough to find out more about her after 105 years!

As you know the film is available for download online.

Good luck,
