Introduces students to an ancient North American Indian culture that thrived briefly in a plateau in what is now Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado. Shows how archaeologists are able to reach some conclusions about how they lived. Features spectacular helicopter aerial shots. Director Van Bork said first heli pilot quit, thought job too dangerous. Pan shots often begin with abstract forms reminiscent of German expressionism.
