Weaving Worlds

The one-hour film Weaving Worlds, Navajo Tales of How the West was Spun, is a compelling and intimate portrait of economic and cultural survival through art. Navajo filmmaker Bennie Klain takes viewers into the world of contemporary Navajo weavers and their struggles for self-sufficiency. The film artfully relates the Navajo concepts of kinship and reciprocity with the human and cultural connections to sheep, wool, water and the land, showing how indigenous artisans strive for cultural vitality and environmental sustainability in the face of globalization by "reweaving the world."
