Fred Harvey's vision and the Harvey Girls are a great achievement for our people.
If youre ever in Taos visit Nicolai Fechin's house. Its now a museum. Beautiful. And in Santa Fe definitely visit the old La Fonda hotel.
2:51 those are some of the oldest structures in the USA dating back to somewhere around 1200 AD.
This spring, I visited Arizona, and for some strange reason, I expected to see things depicted in this documentary. May you tell me when the things changed and when this was lost?
I am pretty sure there are still Pueblo buildings you can visit if you search them out, likely out in the country... as for the culture... almost all of true American culture was destroyed in the 1960s, replaced with suburban style commercialism... it is quite sad, we have lost so much as a country.
@daveweiss5647 what I saw was simply - sad. Even at the (seemingly) prime tourist spots, natives were either poorly organized, doing marginal, low paid services (Navajo around GC) or they were lethargic ( having no option to eat at any restaurant around Petrified Forest).
I have no idea what happened to them and their mental state.
Being from the Balkans myself, which is not the most cheerful place, ads to the feeling.
@@unlearningcommunism4742 current history happened to them; not just native mexican Americans. divide conquer, visit the Zimmerman library for the history of division; violations, and facts. Native Americans are trying to still protect themselves; but are doing better now with land and casinos. Not so much the native mexican American.
The only pueblo dwellers in Arizona are the Hopi and they definitely do not encourage visitors. Major pueblos in AZ had been abandoned for years by the time Europeans got there. The Apache drove them away.
14:34 start of footage featuring EMC E1 with passenger consist (can anybody confirm if that is the Super Chief?)
What beautiful cultures we had throughout this vountry once... now mostly all lost to corporate homogenized drek... very sad...
The background music didn’t complement the video.
Burning Man !!
Amazing footage but that background music is awful. Doesn't fit at. all.
