Most of the costumes and props are from the Abenaki Museum curated by scholar Fred Wiseman, and are centuries old. The canoe the hero uses in the film's opening was made in 1865. The bible whose pages figure in certain shots dates from the 1600s, as do the musketry and the silver crucifix the young girl wears. The Hyde Log Cabin which appears is the oldest surviving cabin in North America.
