This gallery of vintage motion pictures, compiled and digitized by historian J. Fred MacDonald, offers rich perspectives on the American Indian experience. The discipline of Native American studies has been without an accessible film record for a long time; the University of Arizona is now bringing these archival films to global attention, providing an opportunity for reconsidering the Native American peoples and their cultures, societies, and histories. Films are organized by tribes and their locations.
Sponsored by the Archaeological Legacy Institute (ALI), a nonprofit research and education corporation, the video collection includes short documentaries about peoples and sites across the globe. The video guide includes a complete list of titles, summaries about the videos, a world map displaying the locations featured by the video, video news, and interviews.
