You're not imagining things. THE PEOPLE was a made-for-tv movie, shown
on ABC back in 1971. The screenplay was by James M. Miller, and it was
indeed based on Zenna Henderson's PILGRIMAGE: THE BOOK OF THE PEOPLE.
The director was John Korty, and the executive producer was, believe
it or not, Francis Ford Coppola. I'm surprised that you don't remember
any of the cast, considering that the star of the movie was William
Shatner. Two other "name" actors in the cast were Dan O'Herlihy and
Kim Darby.
