This film shows Dr. Cressman's more than 40 years of research on western prehistory.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div><i>A Search For Vanished People</i> is an important historical film about Native North Americans.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div>DER thanks Oregon Public Broadcasting for the opportunity to rescue these fine archival films from obscurity.
