It's so random.
Were those actual Native Americans? They looked like they were being escorted by the police.
Great find!

I love looking at old videos like this.

Check out 1:53. There is a woman with a skirt short enough to show her knees! I know that sounds laughable now but back then her skirt probably would have been shockingly short.
