Flaming Feather is a 1952 American Technicolor Western film directed by Ray Enright and starring Sterling Hayden. The film was shot on location at Oak Creek Canyon and the Montezuma Castle National Monument near Sedona, Arizona. Local Yavapai Indians were employed as extras but refused to enter the cliff dwellings that represented the resting place of their ancestors. Production was delayed for one day while a band of Navajos was imported from a reservation more than 100 miles away to replace them.
