Your piece was very insightful. I wish I could have heard all the music recorded especially by medicine man kee wagner - the god over here. Do you know how i can download.
This is a good piece, ending up much an indictment of modern culture as it is a picture of problems on the reservation. The perspective is not unusual -- the government has torn the culture of the Navajo from it's roots through the original chemical weapon (alcohol), Christianity, boarding schools and relentless modernization. There are problems on the reservation, but it's not easy to come to a single conclusion. This piece feels more like an introduction to the problem than an introduction to a solution to the problem. That's okay. It appears to be aimed at a European, or at least eastern US audience, and it is necessary to get this perspective.
I gave this piece a 3 instead of a 4 because there are many areas where the interviews are nearly inaudible. I struggled to hear them at all (the medicine man, for one). For PD's interested in this piece, I recommend dusting off whatever dynamic processors you have to bring up the volume of these interviews.

Review of Among the Navajo - A Journey into the In Between
I really enjoyed the native feel to this program. It is up to date and many native people can relate to the subject detailed in this program
