Description
This live-action re-creation of historic Native Americans in the southwestern United States focuses on the Navajo people but also informs viewers about Anasazi, Yuma, Pima, Pueblo, Apache and other peoples of the region. Also shown are the history of the first migrations to North and South America and how the inhabitants of various regions developed unique characteristics. How the Navajo, who call themselves “Dineh”, use their food, buildings and utensils is revealed in stories which also demonstrate some of these people’s myths. Their adaptability and what they borrowed from other Indians and European cultures is explored as we experience the life of this harsh but beautiful environment.
