FILMS

Native American Novelists - Leslie M. Silko - VD-10175  (DVD, color, 45 minutes) 2004.

Leslie M. Silko discusses her own background and the interrelationship between her smaller, immediate Native American world and the larger, brutal surrounding world. Her work is strongly rooted in her own matrilineal tribal background, and she uses particular experiences and places to reveal universal truths. Doyle Library

Native Voices - VC-5251 (Videocassette, color, 30 minutes) 2002.

Native Americans had established a rich and highly developed tradition of oral literature long before the writings of the European colonists. This video explores that richness by introducing Native American oral traditions through the work of three contemporary authors: Leslie Marmon Silko (Laguna Pueblo), Simon Ortiz (Acoma Pueblo), and Luci Tapahonso (Navajo). Doyle Library

Surviving Columbus - The Story of the Pueblo People - VC-2779 (Videocassette, color, 120 minutes) 1992.

Tells the other side of history - the story of the European conquest as viewed by America's Pueblo people. Reveals the rich legacy of the Pueblo people and their 450 year struggle to preserve their culture. Visits Chaco Canyon and Mesa Verde. Journeys through the eras of conquistadors, Spanish settlers, and Franciscan missionaries. Carries through the victory of native people in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 when they defied Hispanic efforts to eradicate their religion, and on to modern times in which the Pueblo people continue to resist U.S. government control over their land and way of life. Doyle Library

The West: 1. The People - VC- 3321   (Videocassette, color, 82 minutes)

Experience the rich cultural diversity of Native American tribes and the impact that early white explorers had on their lives. Talks about the mysterious disappearance of the Anasazi culture and the successful Pueblo revolt against their Spanish conquerors. First-person accounts bring to life the adventures of early explorers, from Cabeza de Vaca, the first white man to enter the West, to the Lewis and Clark expedition. Doyle & Mahoney Libraries

O No, Coronado! - VC- 8219   (Videocassette, color, 40 minutes)

Black-comic Conquistador chronicle aggressively reconstructs the 1540 Spanish invasion of those Pueblo Indian lands now known as the American Southwest.
