The Navajo tribe, the Dine, are the largest tribe in the United
States and live across the American Southwest. But over a century
ago, they were nearly wiped out by the Long Walk, a forced removal
of most of the Dine people to a military-controlled reservation in
New Mexico. The summer of 2018 marked the 150th anniversary of the
Navajo's return to their homelands. One Navajo family and their
community decided to honor that return. Edison Eskeets and his
family organized a ceremonial run from Spider Rock in Canyon de
Chelly, Arizona, to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in order to deliver a
message and to honor the survivors of the Long Walk. Both
exhilarating and punishing, Send A Runner tells the story of a
Navajo family using the power of running to honor their ancestors
and the power of history to explain why the Long Walk happened.
From these forces, they might also seek the vision of how the
Dine--their people--will have a future.
