In Light of Reverence
MEDIA E98.R3 I55 2002
“Across the United States, Native Americans are struggling to protect their sacred places. Religious freedom, so valued

Age religious practitioners.”

MEDIA
E78.O45 I52 1989

her findings.”

“In the shadow of Mt. Rushmore, lies one of the poorest counties in America, The Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
For police officer Rudy Yellow Lodge, the painful legacy of Indian existence is brought home every night as he locks
up drunk and disorderly Indians, including his own brother. Rudy's frustration leads him to take the law into his own
hands. Ultimately, Rudy is able to honor his big brother, and his people with a life-affirming act of defiance.”
Surviving Columbus: The Story of the Pueblo People E99.P9 S97 1992
Using stories from Pueblo elders, interviews with Pueblo scholars and leaders, archival photographs, and historical

“The resurfacing of a decades old film reunites a man and his family and explores radioactivity problems on the
Navajo reservation… The new film, Return of Navajo Boy, juxtaposes the families' lives now and then. The current

people.”
