Navajo: An Ancient Gift

Navajos tell their story of survival in the harsh yet beautiful land of Northern Arizona. A child learns to tend sheep. A mother teaches her daughter to card, spin, dye and weave wool for rugs. A family sacrifices a sheep in a life-restoring, religious ritual. This story of Navajo families is cast against the painful events of history and the vital role of women in religious, social and cultural life.
