Navaho: The Last Red Indians

Synopsis: Shows the survival of the traditional way of life of the Navaho Indian on a remote plateau in North America. In particular, looks at various primitive methods of medicine, many of which white doctors claim are effective and satisfy the Indians’ psychological needs. In the view of some anthropologists, the key to the prevention of social breakdown lies in allowing the Navaho to change at their own speed and as they wish.
