Since 1974 the US government has tried to remove 10,000 Dine/Navajo from their ancestral lands to make profits of the huge amount of energy resources they possess. Marsha Gomez discusses the Weaving Project which aims to sell Navajo rugs made by the traditional weavers of the Joint Use and Big Mountain Area. Rug sales help restore self-sufficiency and sovereignty of the Dine/Navajo peoples and supports the women and their families in their resistance to the US government’s policy of forced relocation.
