Great film but has anyone heard of You are my happiness it is a story of an Indian who sees his loved ones in heaven. I can’t find it anywhere.

I remember this filmstrip. I grew up near the Mohawk Indian reservation in upstate New York. When I was ordained a Teacher in the Church, these were some of the filmstrips I showed to the younger kids in Sunday-school. That sure brought back good memories. I sure wish you could find the others too.

Thanks for bringing back some good old memories. I don’t think it was cheesy at all. I only wish our culture today could enjoy a simple filmstrip with a value or two. However, we seem to be drowning in online video games, goofy obnoxious TV mostly void of wholesomeness and goodness, cell phone texting, etc…

Thank you very much for this. My dad had a whole bunch of these filmstrips (we had a bunch of cartoony Book of Mormon ones too, and some old 60s era photograph shows). They are gone now (and so is he) but this brings back memories. I was pretty upset when my mom told me she got rid of it all while I was on my mission.

Is “I’ll Build You a Rainbow” out there on the internet somewhere? This filmstrip was about a family going to the temple and then the mother dies (of cancer?) and it teaches how the family can be eternal. Something about the way this filmstrip was done really reverberated with Dominicans (and according to my wife Chileans). I’ve wondered if it has to do with the way Latinos revere mothers – anyway that is a theory. There were members on my mission who were horrified when we told them we hadn’t showed their neighbors this filmstrip yet. My wife told me that her Chilean companion reconstructed the filmstrip from blank camera film and markers when the elders lost the film.

I think the Narrator may have been slowed down a little by the recording process.

Seriously, who leaves their kid in a dangerous situation to go get bullets? completely insane!

Didn’t the Indian Seminary also produce the Tom Trails filmstrips for seminary? Those were pretty cheezy too.
