Navajo Film Themselves
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Navajos Film Themselves is a series of seven short documentary films which show scenes of life on the Navajo Nation.[1][2] It was added to the United States National Film Registry[3] in 2002.[4]
The films are:[5]
- Intrepid Shadows directed by Al Clah
- The Navajo Silversmith directed by John Nelson
- A Navajo Weaver directed by Susie Benally
- Old Antelope Lake directed by Mike Anderson
- Second Weaver directed by either Susie Benally or Alta Kahn
- The Shallow Well Project directed by John Nelson
- The Spirit of the Navajos directed by Maxine and Mary J. Tsosie
The series is also known as Through Navajo Eyes, due to a confusion with the book that follows.[6][7]
Original elements for these films are stored at the Library of Congress, Culpeper, Virginia.[8]
