1940: Indians are not landscape or objects, but human beings with the privacies and dignities as such..

1940, April 17  Albuquerque Journal 

..Secretary of the Interior, Ickes, created an Order that would charge movie companies $50-$500 a day for shooting on government land (including reservations.) The order mostly pertained to Western films who often shoot for the scenery at national parks. Governor Bob Jones of Arizona said the fees would cripple a new industry and the state plans to protest. He planned to protest.

Concerning motion pictures on Indian reservations, Ickes’ order said:
     “The photographing for whatever purpose, professional or amateur, commercial or otherwise, of ceremonial performances, dances and places or persons within any of the pueblo of New Mexico and Arizona is subjected to the consent of the governing officials of such pueblo.

Fees Up To Indians
     “In all cases, throughout the Indian country, any maker of pictures, including Government employers, on tribal lands, must consult beforehand the tribal officers or superintendents. Limitations which they may impose must be scrupulously regarded, and any charges asked by the Indians must be paid.
     “Indians are not landscape or objects, but human beings with the privacies and dignities as such; and Indian places, although hearing no outward sign, may be as sacred to the Indian mind as any religious sanctuary in the while world.”
