Warning: This film purports to explain the religion of the Akimel O'odham (Pima) Indian. Most content material is incorrect and reflects the mainstream cultural biases of its time. The title indicates a misunderstanding of petroglyphs and Native belief systems. The narrator's language is condescending and culturally insensitive.
