Cowboy and Indian Village


Does anyone know where they filmed the cowboy village scenes in the beginning and the indian village scene at the end. Do these places still exist?

I wondered the same thing myself, especially about the Native American village. The first thing we see of this new territory is a totem pole, which at first I thought was a strange error. Then when they arrived at the village I realized they were near the sea and the end of Blake's journey. I looked at the cast list, which mentioned Makah villagers, then Googled Makah and learned the tribe still exists, and is now based in Neah Bay, Washington. Neah Bay is listed as one of the filming locations so I'm guessing that's where the village is. Looked too elaborate to have just been built as a film set.

As for the cowboy town, no idea. Maybe Flagstaff AZ?
