00:21:58,578 --> 00:22:01,102
What do the Lagunas
care about right?
347
00:22:01,145 --> 00:22:03,278
Did not God decide
who should keep the picture?
348
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:05,933
And yet they
stole it from us?[ crowd agrees ]
349
00:22:05,976 --> 00:22:09,415
And now, God has made it
possible to get it back
350
00:22:09,458 --> 00:22:11,286
without bloodshed.
351
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:13,854
The Americanos
are wise and just.
352
00:22:13,897 --> 00:22:16,726
They act swiftly.
Take your troubles to them.
353
00:22:16,770 --> 00:22:19,599
They will not fail you.
354
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:28,085
Very well, Father.
We will go to the Americanos.
355
00:22:28,129 --> 00:22:31,915
But for your sake,
you had better pray
that what you said is true.
356
00:22:31,959 --> 00:22:34,396
OLD RANGER:
And so the case of
the pueblo of Acoma
357
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,574
versus the pueblo of Laguna
was taken to court.
358
00:22:38,618 --> 00:22:42,273
And Father Marino'’s
prediction came true.
359
00:22:42,317 --> 00:22:45,407
But the Laguna Indians
took it to a higher court.
360
00:22:45,451 --> 00:22:48,932
And in 1857,
the United States Supreme Court
361
00:22:48,976 --> 00:22:53,110
rendered a decision upholding
the lower court and ordering
362
00:22:53,154 --> 00:22:56,070
the pueblo of Laguna
to surrender immediately
363
00:22:56,113 --> 00:23:00,335
the painting of Saint Joseph
to the pueblo of Acoma.
364
00:23:10,867 --> 00:23:13,392
They'’re coming with the picture.
365
00:23:27,971 --> 00:23:33,150
As Chief of Lagunas,
I'’m obeying the order of
the Chief of the American law.
366
00:23:38,329 --> 00:23:40,201
Welcome home, Saint Joseph.
367
00:23:43,639 --> 00:23:47,034
At least this ends the feud
between our people, Felipe.
368
00:23:47,077 --> 00:23:50,037
And Laguna, again,
faces hunger and famine.
369
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,301
Did it ever occur to you
that crops depend as much
370
00:23:53,344 --> 00:23:57,827
upon the work of human hands as
upon the blessings of a saint?
371
00:23:57,871 --> 00:24:01,004
When the holy painting was
first brought to Laguna,
372
00:24:01,048 --> 00:24:03,093
it changed our fortunes.
373
00:24:03,137 --> 00:24:05,661
We carry the picture
right into our fields with us.
374
00:24:05,705 --> 00:24:08,795
And worked harder than
you had ever worked before
375
00:24:08,838 --> 00:24:10,753
because he was watching you.
376
00:24:10,797 --> 00:24:16,106
While at Acoma they
became discouraged with
no saint to inspire them.
377
00:24:16,150 --> 00:24:20,371
It serves as an inspiration.
A reminder of the protection
378
00:24:20,415 --> 00:24:23,287
and loving kindness
of our Heavenly Father.
379
00:24:23,331 --> 00:24:27,378
The holy picture help you
to help yourselves.
380
00:24:27,422 --> 00:24:32,819
Go back to Laguna and
keep working as if the Saint
were still in your midst.
381
00:24:32,862 --> 00:24:37,084
And I know that when
harvest time comes around,
382
00:24:37,127 --> 00:24:39,739
your storehouses will be full,
383
00:24:39,782 --> 00:24:41,523
and the pueblo will celebrate
384
00:24:41,567 --> 00:24:45,484
your marriage
with feasts and plenty.
385
00:24:50,837 --> 00:24:55,755
What is a squaw
compared to a saint?
386
00:24:59,106 --> 00:25:03,153
If you are fortunate enough
someday to visit
the pueblo of Acoma,
387
00:25:03,197 --> 00:25:04,894
look in the sanctuary
of the mission,
388
00:25:04,938 --> 00:25:07,593
and there you'’ll see
this famous painting,
389
00:25:07,636 --> 00:25:11,901
the subject of a lawsuit
unique in the annals
of United States law.
