Powerfully documents 50 years and four generations of change in one Navajo family. In 1938, noted anthropologist John Adair, traveled to the Najo reservation in Pine Springs, Arizona with a 16mm hand wind motion picture camera. There Adair met and filmed the Burnside family, creating a visual record of Navajo life in the 1930's. In an unprecedented composite, Adair's previously unseen historical footage is juxtaposed with contemporary scenes and in-depth interviews with the family today. As their story evolves, the clash between past and present surfaces. This rich and telling film of the Burnside history becomes a complex microcosm of Navajo culture in transition and raises question about the survival of ethnicity in modern-day America.
