Basket woven with 16mm film from “The Return of the Man Called Horse", 1976.

The specific footage used is from the trailer of this Hollywood movie, which was made to advertise it when it showed on TV.

IMDB lists this synopsis:
English aristocrat John Morgan (Richard Harris), previously captured by the Yellow Hand Sioux who treated him as a horse until he rose to the position of chief within the tribe, returns to find his adopted Indian tribe dispirited, forced off their sacred land by the white traders, and awaiting supernatural intervention. Morgan, known to the tribe as Shunkawakan ('Horse'), decides to take things into his own hands.
