I colorized, restored, and designed a sound design for this 1930s footage, which captures rare glimpses of Arizona and New Mexico in the Old West. It features iconic cowboys, Native American communities, and rugged desert landscapes. The film showcases pueblo dwellings, stone huts, and everyday scenes of Native American life, emphasizing traditional settings and cultural heritage. Rather than fast-paced action, much of the footage lingers on static views of architecture and daily routines, giving it a calm and deliberate rhythm.

4:13-7:01 A Native American pueblo, probably on a feast day, judging by the crowds and the number of tourists. (Perhaps another NM viewer can identify the pueblo. Are those the Jemez Mountains in the background?)
