“Navajo Canyon Country” shows the canyons of New Mexico and Arizona with emphasis on the life style and culture of the Navajo. Instead of portraying the Navajo as “savages” or less intelligent than white people they portray them as a society of strong history rich people. Vivid shots of the Navajo as they go about their daily lives add subtext to the beautiful narration of a beautiful, striking, place.
