Nicely done, thanks for the video!!! I sincerely appreciate it. I was part of that pageant back in 1988-89 and came in 2nd runner-up. It brings back wonderful memories and to this day I share that with my daughter and son. That makes us Dine!!

IMO Navajo women are some of the most beautiful women and not because I am Navajo either.

I agree. This documentary was powerful and too bad other pagents aren't like this. Of course the Navajo Culture works hard to remain vital and pass on its traditions to their children. Just beautiful to watch this young woman blossom over the course of the film and take such a deeper interest and pride in her heritage.
