NAVAJO CHILDREN

Set in Arizona and New Mexico. The experiences of a Navajo boy and girl in moving their family, household effects, cats, horses, sheep and goats from their winter quarters to their summer home. Following a day's journey by wagon, they camp for the night with other Navajos. In the evening the children sing native songs. In the morning, the Navajo boys hold a marksmanship contest with bows and arrows. Another day's travel brings the family to their destination. "Repairing their home, planting crops, caring for their sheep and goats, and rug weaving are among the activities shown. Navajo conversation and songs. 'The Navajos do not use bows and arrows as playthings. Unauthentic in this regard. Otherwise fine.' A.E. Beede. 'Outstanding film showing the home life of family of Navajo Indians including the details of their trip to the summer home.' H.L.K."
