The Mystery of the Lost Village

While staying with the Lightfeather family on a Navajo reservation, the Aldens uncover some fascinating artifacts that may be evidence of a legendary ancient village, artifacts that soon turn up missing. Seems like someone doesnt want the village to be uncovered.

Wonderful book for young kids, extremly action packed

In this episode, Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny are on an indian plantation. They hear a legend about an old village that got swallowed up by the land. They start digging and soon uncover what they think is remains of the village. But a housing company wants the land too. Can they stop them from ruining the forest?
