The performers in each film were members of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill themselves exhibiting their rifle shooting skills.[1] Sioux nation who are believed to have been the first Native Americans to perform on film. The lasso thrower was Vicente Oropeza and the stuntmen staging the knife fight were Pedro Esquivel and Dionecio Gonzales. Two real-life rodeo riders, Lee Martin and Frank Hammitt, featured in Bucking Broncho , which was filmed outside the studio.[2]
