Summary:

"Curios was the first film of Sandy Johnson Osawa created while she was a first year graduate film student at UCLA. ... One of the large museums in Los Angeles was displaying an American Indian skeleton and during the 70's it was still not uncommon for major museums across the country to do so. The filmmaker witnessed many families visiting this museum and realized that many people learned about American Indians through glass cases where artifacts and objects and even bones were displayed. ... The first part of this one-minute film is devoted to documenting how others see American Indians and the second half is devoted to how an American Indian filmmaker sees Indians living contemporary lives in & around the city of LA."--Container.
