Friendly Indian Village Loading A Travois 1960s

Once a scene along the Rivers of America seen only by those enjoying a cruise on the Mark Twain or Columbia was the Friendly Indian Village. In this scene, the figures are poised building a travois to move their possessions. The Rivers of America once held many more figures than seen today although I do like the new village with the storyteller and more motion.

Interesting, I didn't know that the tableaus showing Indians and their activities had changed that much. Wonder why this scene was removed, it looks good.

Meanwhile I find all kinds of slides of animals (groups of deer and moose, etc) that I am sure are long gone.

I also liked these two men working on the travois. To answer Major, it may have been removed because these two were static. I think almost all of the Indians now have slight to full movement.

Hey, quick question... is that fire effect real? It looks like a gas fire. Does anyone know?
