Proving Up & Settling Down focuses on Euro-American settlers living in Hells Canyon, North America’s deepest river gorge, between the 1870s and 1940s. This film includes accounts of three old-timers who homesteaded the canyon. Proving Up & Settling Down received the award for Best Score in the Archaeology Channel Film Festival. It also screened in the Rassegna Internazionale del Cinema Archeologico, Rovereto (Italy), and in the Festival de Cine Arqueologico del Bidasoa (Spain).
