- Summary: Long distance running has long held symbolic meaning for many Native Americans, particularly Pueblo Indians of the Southwest. And as Hal Cannon of the Western Folklife Center reports, those running roots go surprisingly deep.

Review of Zuni Running

This is a wonderful piece with a nice mix of narration, music, brief interviews, ambient sound and actualities. To my ear, it makes great use of sound without being overdone. I loved the short cuts of an out-of-breath runner and a "stick racer". The overall sound montage is very pleasing. Editing is tight, and the narration by Hal Cannon is just right. There is a natural break at approximately 4:45, so it could be divided into two equal parts that are each self-sufficient. I really like this piece, and highly recommend it.
