Summary:

Heartbreaking tale of the forced relocation of 12,000 Navajos from their ancestral homeland in Arizona that began in the 1970's and continues to this day. The relocation was instituted under the pretext of separating Navajos from Hopis but was primarily instigated by energy companies eager to exploit the mineral resources on Navajo lands.
