The Navajo at Big Mountain

 The second area is called Big Mountain located on the Hopi reservation north east Arizona. These Navajos were forcefully relocated by the US government onto Hopi land. Whether they remain on this land is still questionable and to this day there are people who wish to relocate Navajos who have lived on this land for generations. I have been photographing these people for years and what is unique is that they live of the grid, they live many miles from a paved road. When you talk with an elder you realize how connected they are to the land and how disconnected we have become.
