The films are:[5]

  • Intrepid Shadows directed by Al Clah
  • The Navajo Silversmith directed by John Nelson
  • A Navajo Weaver directed by Susie Benally
  • Old Antelope Lake directed by Mike Anderson
  • Second Weaver directed by either Susie Benally or Alta Kahn
  • The Shallow Well Project directed by John Nelson
  • The Spirit of the Navajos directed by Maxine and Mary J. Tsosie

The series is also known as Through Navajo Eyes, due to a confusion with the book that follows.[6][7]

Original elements for these films are stored at the Library of Congress, Culpeper, Virginia.[8]
