With this need for release, 12 intrepid motorists embark upon the 1920 inaugural tour of the National Park-to-Park Highway. Traveling 5,000 miles over 76 days to promote the need for good roads, these individuals also explore the idea of what it means to ‘See America First’ while touring in the western United States, instead of visiting their ancestry in war torn Europe.

As America becomes entrenched in World War II, Roosevelt is pressured to open the parks to mining, grazing and lumbering.

Indian Boarding Schools: Keeping the Culture Alive | Beyond The Mesas | Produced with the full participation of the The Hopi Cultural Preservation Office, Beyond The Mesas tells the stories of the federal government's efforts to assimilate and acculturate Hopis, the visit by four Hopi chiefs to Washington, the subsequent Oraibi split, and the forced removal and experiences of Hopi children in off-reservation boarding schools such as the Sherman Institute and the Phoenix and Stewart Indian Schools.Faced with the enforced loss of their language in their children, vastly outnumbered by a technologically advanced military that had the power to annihilate them, enlightened Hopi leadership sought a peaceful middle ground that would preserve the best of Hopi culture and combine it with the best of the white man's culture. Both federal policies and pressure to resist from within the Hopi community challenged this strategy.In this beautifully wrought film, Hopi people recount their community's modern struggle with pressures from the outside world. In their voices and with their stories, the narrators recount this history while demonstrating a remarkable spirit of persistence and optimism. Beyond the Mesas teaches both about the past and the present. Frederick E. HoxieSwanlund Professor of HistoryUniversity of Illinois, Urbana/ChampaignBeyond the Mesas serves as a testament to the resistance and resilience of Hopi Indians forcibly removed from the tutskwa, the sacred and ancestral Hopi homelands in northeastern Arizona to Sherman Indian boarding school in Riverside, CA. This compelling and provocative film illustrates how Hopis did not yield to the assimilative pressures of the boarding school experience, but instead "turned the power" and used the experience to protect and preserve their culture, language, and traditional ways of life. Produced by Hopi historian, Matthew Sakiestewa Gilbert in collaboration with the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office, this film tells the story from a uniquely Hopi perspective that celebrates the vitality of a people committed to the ways of their ancestors.

The film allows us into American worlds of art, culture, ideas, pain, and survival. Allan Holzman is a master filmmaker who allows Indians to tell their stories in their way in their own words. The film is magical and transforming. Clifford E. TrafzerRupert Costo Chair in American Indian AffairsUniversity of California, Riverside |

A new billion-dollar campaign - Mission 66 - is created to build facilities and infrastructure that can accommodate the flood of visitors. A biologist named Alfred Murie introduces the revolutionary notion that predatory animals, which are still hunted, deserve the same protection as other wildlife. In Florida, Lancelot Jones, the grandson of a slave, refuses to sell to developers his family's property on a string of unspoiled islands in Biscayne Bay and instead sells it to the federal government to be protected as a national monument. In the late 1970s, President Jimmy Carter creates an uproar in Alaska when he sets aside 56 million acres of land for preservation - the largest expansion of protected land in history. In 1995, wolves are re-established in Yellowstone, making the world's first national park a little more like what it once was. |
