Navajo Filmmaker promotes cultural revitalization by documenting Navajo culture pageants.
James Foguth, a Navajo documentary filmmaker who has worked on projects that have aired on HBO, ESPN-U, and the Audience Network, is producing a documentary called Brave that follows Diné youth coming of age within the Diné Culture, and explores the challenges they face through their eyes. The documentary will center around Diné youth that participate in the Diné Princess and Brave Pageants.
“For me, it is justice work to share perspectives that inform the Diné people of the challenges of growing up as a Diné youth in this westernized world,” Foguth said. “My films aim to dispel the of notions of the lazy Diné youth who refuse to learn their language and to break Indian stereotypes that portray us as overly romanticized racial caricatures.”
One of the major themes in Brave will be the “integrative and disintegrative forces shaping young Dine people.”
“The disintegrative forces are things like domestic violence and substance abuse, and the integrative forces are the Diné culture and language,” Foguth said.
Foguth feels is important to tell the complete story of Diné youth as it is both ethical and humanizing. He hopes to weave historical context throughout the film to ensure that the story is whole.
Foguth grew up in Lukachukai on the Navajo Nation. He comes from a traditional family. Foguth himself was a Tsaile elementary school Brave when he was twelve years old. Foguth has been making documentaries since he was fourteen years old.
“My grandmother, Annie Kahn, was a strong advocate for teaching Dine Culture and woman’s rights.” Foguth says.
Foguth’s feels it is important to have Diné People tell Diné stories. “I’m tired of outsiders applying a technical recipe to our Diné culture and identity,” Foguth said.
The Brave documentary is in production and a funding campaign is underway. More information about the film can be found at nizhonifilms.com.

Mooi artikel over de Navajo's om te lezen. Er komen veel aspecten uit mijn boek in voor, zoals mishandeling tegen vrouwen en het omgaan met de Spiritts. Modern aan de buitenkant maar nog steeds traditioneel aan de binnenkant!

Female officers are a key part of the understaffed Navajo Nation Police Department’s approach to one of the toughest policing jobs in America.
