Valley of Thundering Water: Wild Horses Threatened on Navajo Reservation
The wild horses on the Navajo reservation have run free for hundreds of years. They are a symbol of strength and grace, but sadly they may soon be gone forever. Powerful forces in and outside the tribe are quietly working to clear the horses off the land and sell them for slaughter. Artist and activist Ron Jackson lives on the reservation and is fighting to keep the animal, so sacred to his people’s tradition, wild and free.
