The wind won't know me: a history of the Navajo-Hopi land dispute

Trama

It is July 7, 1985, and Indians from across the country are gathered at Big Mountain, Arizona, for the sun dance, a brutal and intensely spiritual ceremony of self-sacrifice. They are gathered to offer strength to the hundreds of Navajo Indians who have refused to be relocated from their homes in this rugged, isolated land in defiance of a government program to settle a land dispute with their neighbors the Hopi Indians.
