1 Male 4 Female
A thoughtful, expressive scene of the southwest Indian, in which an "Americanized" Indian girl goes back to her family abode during school vacation
She looks contemptuously on the old Indian customs and taboos, and refuses to accompany her parents to a death bed ceremony for a tribal elder
An ancient Indian woman, also going to the ceremony, passes by
She tells the girl that Indians of her education are necessary to lead the race out of ignorance
She makes her point beautifully, and leaves the young Indian girl in deep thought
