Broken rainbow

Documentary about the forced relocation of 12,000 Navajo Indians currently taking place in Arizona. Although the Federal government claims to be settling a land dispute between the Hopi and Navajo tribes, this film clearly illustrates that the relocation will only serve to facilitate energy development. Broken Rainbow speaks for all Native people who are struggling to survive as individuals and as separate cultures in the face of Western technology.

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. Witness as they take their protest to Congress and turn tragedy into acts of heroic resistance."@en
