“First Americans” features the music of Jana Mashonee, imagery of Joe Sohm and Clint Eastwood’s narration

“First Americans” is a music video featuring the music and vocal of Jana Mashonee, the imagery of Joe Sohm and narration read by Clint Eastwood. Jana’s song, “the Enlightened Time” tells the Native American story in rhythm, melody, lyric, narration and imagery. It tells a story that all people are “all one tribe.” The contemporary imagery is by Joe Sohm and the historic imagery by his father, Joe Sohm – all shot in 1937 from the annual Gallup, New Mexico Intertribal Indian gathering. Thus, footage is by father and son, “Joe and Joe” – father and son – from many of the same locations shot 80 years apart.
