This is a video presentation that I made of the Navajo Long Walk after my trip home to the Great Navajo Nation. I took the trek of my ancestors from Canyon de Chelly to Fort Sumner, New Mexico. It was a very powerful experience for me! I hope you enjoy watching!

Matt,
I want you and your whole nation (the beautiful people, language and culture) to know that I personally am VERY, VERY, VERY SORRY AND DO GRACIOUSLY APOLOGIZED FROM MY INTER BEING FOR ALL THE HARDSHIP THE NARROW MINDED, SELFISH, GREEDY, MEAN, UGLY, CONCEDED, RACIST EUROPEANS CAUSED YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR LAND. For that matter all of the FIRST NATIONS.
I am learning about my people and other Nations that were treated as 5th rate citizens or out right killed in the eastern US.

I once lived in Flagstaff (mid to late 70's) learned much from The People. I was very lucky to be accepted by many families and was allowed to learn much. When I had to move away I was very sad and still feel this sadness today. To this day I still go out at shearing time here in Texas, and gather wool, spin it, and weave it the "Navajo way". If I could I would move back to Arizona and live as close as possible to The People.
