[speaking navajo] >> so with all due respect to the navajos and their rich culture, that does indeed sound like jibberrish and that's what helped them send and receive messages without the japanese ever being able to decrypt it. there is a tendency, understandably so, to think of this as a museum that celebrates the past. and the incredible things that cryptology has done throughout history. and that indeed is a vital part of the museum. but it's also important to note that we use the museum and we hope that the museum can inspire people to develop an interest in the art and science of cryptology and to perhaps maybe even one day pursue a career here at the national security agency. because the agency needs bright, young people in order to perform its mission. so, the national cryptologic museum certainly is about the past, but it is also about inspiring people for the future. >> this was the second of a two-part program from our visit to the national cryptologic museum. you can watch this and other "american artifacts" programs any time, by visiting our website, c-span.org/history.

a western genre story that taciturn demanding the frontier that great american desert against navajo apache is a renegade command she was militarized but we simply had the same story, a hero to sydney a good two-week population and maintaining civilization against the sort of people who are going to destroy their civilization. within a third and a 15 frame shot you would know the story by the introduction, by icons, images being characterized. the names change and they remain the same. the best news story and immigration turned out was from a bbc correspondent who was affiliated with the network news partner. they create an interesting story that does the characterizations of the border patrol agent as well as immigrants as individuals with full subject tbd so we could actually see why these people were risking their lives across the deserts and how frustrating it was for the border patrol agent to try to keep people who are desperate to come across the border. in the same amount of seconds, 90 seconds you get a story of a bbc correspondent in a much better job than the american corr

they're interchangeable; it's like the seminoles, the cherokees, the lakotas, the navajos, you know?ou know, whoever it might be, at the end, they... you know, that's the hollywood version of indians in movies. and so i said, you know, "what's different about this?" and what's different about it is that, you know, we went, you know, inside the house. we actually showed wes studi, you know, as a slave owner, which is not a great moment in cherokee history. but it's inside where we're seeing something we haven't ever seen before. and when i'm shooting the scene with wes studi riding a horse, and he comes down and he's talking to his slaves in cherokee, i say to myself, "this has never been seen before, filmically, i don't think." and so it's those images-- you know, the good, the bad, the ugly, the humorous-- that, you know, as native people, i want to pull back and start to see, you know? and we shall remain really took some strides in showing something different about native people. >> hinojosa: were you surprised when you got that call to have you direct that kind of a film? >> i'm
