The Pacific Union Recorder introduced the new film on March 20, 1950: " 'Navajoland,' a new sound motion picture in color, will be shown soon in Southeastern California Conference churches. Produced by the Pacific Union Department of Press Relations and released through the Visual Education Bureau [also called World Wide Bible Pictures], the film is an authentic portrayal of the Navajo way of life. Sympathetically it tells the story of a people struggling against economic handicaps, disease, illiteracy and evil spirits. Dramatically it shows the influences of Adventism on a race whose language has no word for an omnipotent God."
