Land Arts of the American West 2019 : First Journey Out

Our first field journey started off with a visit to Muley Point in Bears Ears National Monument, Utah. Here we met with Diné storyteller Sunny Dooley as well as members of Utah Diné Bikéyah, Jonah Yellowman and Denyce White.




For the second leg of our first journey, LAAW visits the Northwestern Checkerboard region of New Mexico. Here we visited with Greater Chaco Coalition’s Daniel Tso and Kendra Pinto for the “Fracking is Fracking Reality Tour”. Followed by an exploration of Chaco Canyon. Lastly we met with coalition members Samuel Sage and Eileen Shendo.


After these site visits, interactions and contemplations, we set about to produce three short videos that reflected our experiences in the Greater Chaco region.
