In the summer of 1966, sevenNavajo community members fromPineSprings,Arizona, were the subjects of one of the most provocative experiments in cognitive and visual anthropology yet completed, theNavajoFilmProject, resulting inSolWorth andJohnAdair's seminal workThroughNavajoEyes, as well as seven short films produced byNavajo filmmakers that garnered worldwide attention in their own right. In 2011, the films were repaired and returned to theNavajoNation for public screenings, the first step in a process of repatriation and resignification that mirrors the repatriation of other visual media toNavajo and indigenous communities. The return of the films offers a unique opportunity to reexamine the meanings of the films and the project itself, reframing the discussion around issues of visual sovereignty, community reengagements, and 'reclaiming'Diné/Navajo histories.
