Kindred of the Dust is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by Raoul Walsh, and starring his wife Miriam Cooper.

Young McKaye loves Nan and wants to marry her, but his father, The Laird of Tyee (Belmore), has other more ambitious plans for his son and his mother and sisters resent the idea of the mother of a nameless child becoming the wife of the McKaye heir.

Nan is ready to give him up, and when Donald yields to his father's wishes and goes to a mountain hut to think it over, she slips away.

After resorting to everything else, the mother swallows her pride and sends for Nan, for whom Donald calls constantly.

During filming Cooper accidentally gazed into a stage light causing her permanent eye damage that lasted until the end of her life.
