The Dineh Navajo of Big Mountain/Black
Mesa in NE Arizona, are a community of traditional people
who live off the land, speak their native language, and practice
their own religion. Their lives and land are threatened because
they live on top of billions of dollars worth of fossil fuels.
Forced to live as trespassers on their ancestral land, their
self-sustaining sheep are impounded and water is stolen and contaminated.
It is against the law to hold outdoor religious ceremonies or
collect firewood.
