The Musical Score by Jonathan Pineno includes hauntingly beautiful original music and adaptations of Native American music. Additional music was provided by the Twigh Twee Singers, Miami Indian Nation of Indiana.

Locations include the site of Frances Slocum's 1778 abduction in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and her home among the Miami Indians near Peru and Wabash, Indiana. Most of the actors in the documentary film were amatuers, while some have worked professionally in other films and on stage.
