Editorial Reviews

This is a compilation of old rare Native American and American Indian 16mm films that have been digitized and collected onto DVD. You can't find this DVD anywhere else, because we designed it ourselves! It's a must for Native American educators, enthusiasts or collectors. Table Of Contents: (1) The Pueblo Heritage (1950) - This is a fantastic film about the history of the Pueblo people. There is wonderful, invaluable footage of Indian jewelry, pottery, weavings and other crafts being produced. There is also footage of a Native American celebration and ceremonial - 20 minutes (2) Navajo Canyon Country (1954) - Glorious footage of Navajo Nation country in New Mexico and Arizona abounds in this movie, including great shots of the daily life of the Native Americans inhabiting the area - 12 minutes (3) Old West, Cowboys and Indians (1920's) - This is a rare reel of amateur film shot sometime around the 1920s or 1930s that shows historical documentation of parts of the Southwest United States and the Native American culture that permeated the region. Adobe architecture is everywhere and Native American clothing and celebrations are found in the footage - 15 minutes

This review is from: Classic Native American Culture Films: Navajo & Pueblo Indians History (DVD)

What happened here is some old Native American and American Indian 16mm films that have been collected onto DVD.
A mixture of films made for public viewing and others that were made by tourists, you have a wonderful view into history. First is the The Pueblo Heritage, 1950, where we learn about Indian jewelry, pottery, weavings and other crafts being produced. No doubt trying to get us to buy stuff when we visit the Indians. There is Navajo Canyon Country, 1954, "glorious footage" of New Mexico and Arizona, including daily life of the Native Americans. Than we have the OLD West, Cowboys and Indians, 1920's, which seems to be amateur film shot sometime around the 1920s or 1930s that shows the Native American culture in the Southwest USA. It feels like a mixture of art and public relations. Enjoy!
