Arrow to the Sun is a 1973 short film and a 1974 book, both by Gerald McDermott.

In retelling the tale, some folklore scholars believe that the story has digressed from the spirit of the Acoma tradition.

[2][3] Long ago, the Lord of the Sun shoots down the spark of life into the Pueblo, where it reaches a young woman and causes her to give birth to an unnamed son, referred to as "the Boy".

The denizens of the Pueblo welcome the Boy home with the Dance of Life to commemorate his return.

The film was named to the list of ALA Notable Children's Videos in 1973.
