No ordinary beauty pageant, the Miss Navajo Nation competition is an opportunity for young women to honor and strengthen Navajo culture. Filmmaker Billy Luther - whose mother was crowned Miss Navajo in 1966 - follows a determined tomboy (Crystal Frazier) through her own quest for the unique title, which celebrates cultural history and traditional skills.
Discussion with filmmaker Billy Luther and Crystal Frazier will follow the screening.
