The Bilagáana Jar

Meet Esther Yazzie; she won a scholarship to intern at Seventeen Magazine in big city Manhattan. Her sanity, however, becomes tested to the brink as she comes to realize she is the only Navajo in New York. Will she stay and bear it out? Or will she ride the bus back home to the rez?

Valley of the (Kachina) Dolls

Welcome to Santa Fe, the hot zone for the widespread epidemic of New Age tourists, culture vultures and plastic medicine men, and their addiction to Southwestern Indian culture.
