Hello, Janice, If you are unable to find this specific program, you may want to consider a more recent production about North American Indians from Bullfrog Films:
COMING TO LIGHT: Edward S. Curtis and the North American Indians (2000, 84 or 56 min, DVD) Directed by Anne Makepeace http://www.bullfrogfilms.com/catalog/ctl.html Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952) was a driven, pioneer photographer who set out in 1900 to document traditional Indian life. He became the most famous photographer of his time, creating an enormous body of work. COMING TO LIGHT tells the dramatic story of Curtis' life, and his changing views of the people he set out to document. Hopi, Navajo, Eskimo, Blackfeet, Blood, Piegan, Suquamish, and Kwakiutl people who are descended from Curtis subjects, or who are using his photographs for cultural preservation, discuss the meaning of the images to Indian people and to all Americans today. "An unusually well-balanced view of Edward Curtis' life and works as the best known photographer of North American Indian people during the first part of the twentieth century." Bill Sturtevant, Curator of Ethnology, National Museum of National History, Smithsonian Institution Let me know if you have any questions.
