Pima

Establishing shot: Film opens showing a large plane taking off, then moves to a map of the fifty states. Pima Indian Reservation is not seen until 1m58s into the film; the camera centers on a mountain range in the background, with a green field in the foreground. A large saguaro can also be seen, in bloom, on the right side of the frame.
Named locations: Tucson, Arizona; Phoenix, Arizona; Southern Arizona;  Pima Indian Reservation; the Gila River; Texaco Olberg Trading Post (sign, 12m30s); Mexico; the Midwest; Coolidge Dam.

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.
