  • Film set on a Navajo reservation. It is about the Indian program and especially alcoholism, as seen through the eyes of a young seminary student.
    It appears that there exists a longer cut of this film, but I have not as yet been able to find it or discover where it may be kept. Because of that please note that this current cut of the film may be covered by active copyright by Brigham Young University unless it is the same version as the original cut which is now part of the public domain. I welcome any assistance in researching the origins of the film!

    I remember growing up in Farmington New Mexico in the early 70s. Driving through Dzilth-Na-O-Dith-Hle Community and seeing many men drunk on the side of the road. Alcohol still does this to this day. Thanks God for the word of wisdom to help us.

I remember coming from Zuni and coming up before getting to Gallup and my father pointed out to the right and said that is where they filmed this at. That was probably almost 20 years ago that he had said that.

    There is an earlier version. I guess it would be in the BYU library. The reason I know this is because when it first came out, the missionaries were showing it at a booth at the Navajo County Fair in Holbrook, AZ. My brothers & I were watching it and the part that showed the bucking horses in the rodeo was longer because my father was the stock contractor and we recognized he was because it showed my uncles doing their job as pick-up men for the bronc riding. We recognized them because at that time they wore red & white shaps to protect their legs and we could tell distinctly who they were. We had never seen the movie before that day. We went & told my Dad (who was furnishing the stock for the rodeo at the fair, that weekend) that there was a movie with his men in it and that he should come & see it. The last day of the fair he went and viewed it. He had never heard of the movie prior, After he went and saw it, he purchased a copy. He was very proud that the church had made a movie with a rodeo he put on, he would show it to people all the time. My Father & Mother have passed & the copy has been lost. If anyone knows how I could get a copy, I would really appreciate it. If the BYU library has a copy, I would like to purchase one.

Perhaps more stories like this would help to get BYU to digitize their old film collections both to help preserve them for historical purposes as well as to keep alive these connections many of us have to the past through these films.

    I went on the mormon placement program in the 80s and vividly remember being shown this movie. It was the saddest movie my 10 year old self had seen. Fortunately my grandmother and parents were not alcoholics because they believed in and abided by our traditional teachings of the Dinè way. This is Mormon propaganda to aide in Dine cultural genocide. It's very sad to use alcoholism of a Nation to lure people into the LDS church.
