It focuses on life in beauty and harmony within the Navajo culture. A chronicled story beautifully told and based on personal knowledge and teachings, showing us the holistic traditions, beliefs, and a way of life within the four sacred mountains. This story also focuses on the strength and endurance of a people with a history of oppression. It gives an inside perspective from today's Dine about how their culture was affected by the Anglo way of life. But even more importantly, it focuses on the solutions to prevent future loss of an ever fading language and culture. DVD SPECIAL FEATURES ? Cultural Traditions ? Navajo Photo Album ?
