In the interview Harry speaks about efforts made by the National Park Service to turn Monument Valley into a National Park, efforts he fought because doing so would have forced the Navajos off the land which was at least partly reservation land. He describes interactions and meetings with several different park service directors and superintendents and his efforts to get the Navajo tribe involved in the conversation. Eventually, Harry says he convinced the Navajo tribal council they needed to do something at their end, which resulted in the establishment of the area as a Navajo Tribal Park run by the reservation in 1958. Harry says that later, the National Park Service helped train the Navajo’s park rangers.

Harry also discusses naming of different natural features in the valley: mesas, buttes, springs, arches, etc.; where the names come from; the stories behind them, particularly those with Navajo names; the significance of the formations to the Navajo; and his own role in the naming of a few of the features. He talks about the discovery of Burnheimer bridge in 1927; recalls visits by Dr. Herbert Gregory, a geologist who explored the area and named the Mittens; tells a story about taking an archaeologist into Anasazi ruin; recalls finding a basket in Anasazi ruins while leading tourist party; and speaks briefly about his concerns about protecting Mystery Valley and the ruins after taking a group on a tour and discovering that a ruin had been vandalized.
