| General Note |
- General note - This video documentary tells the story of the extraordinary odyssey of an Oklahoman Fox native from Indian Territory to the Harvard Club to the head-hunting country of Northern Luzon, Philippines, 1907-1909. Headhunting William Jones explores themes of the assimilated Native American, the ethnologist as American patriot, and the scientist as Victorian. Headhunting William Jones is important to the field of Philippine-American history as William Jones can be regarded as a prism-like figure through which the complex motives of the 20th century American Expansionism can be seen.
In terms of biography, while Dr. William Jones's stellar success in educational achievement was touted as an affirmation of IS federal Indian educational policy, his failure to distinguish between his highly judgmental moral views of his Ilongot hosts and those of purely scientific observation as an ethnologist reveals character flaws in the scientist that eventually cost him his life. Through the illumination of the Jones story, audiences will be treated to a [sic] character study of a Native American scientist uneasily negotiating the fault lines of three worlds.
