00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:22,950
um

2
00:00:28,230 --> 00:00:25,269
this is navajo land

3
00:00:31,109 --> 00:00:28,240
25 000 miles of seemingly endless

4
00:00:34,709 --> 00:00:31,119
geological art encompassing parts of

5
00:00:37,270 --> 00:00:34,719
utah colorado new mexico and arizona

6
00:00:39,510 --> 00:00:37,280
it's a nation within a nation steeped in

7
00:00:41,830 --> 00:00:39,520
beauty and tradition

8
00:00:48,630 --> 00:00:41,840
but more and more the face of the navajo

9
00:00:53,590 --> 00:00:51,029
economic development is being encouraged

10
00:01:00,069 --> 00:00:53,600
on the reservation an area rich in

11
00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:02,150
many of the hogans that still dot the

12
00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:04,559
reservation at one time were the primary

13
00:01:08,630 --> 00:01:06,560
form of housing

14
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:08,640
today it's in these hogans that the

15
00:01:13,270 --> 00:01:10,640
tribal tradition of rug weaving is

16
00:01:15,270 --> 00:01:13,280
practiced and passed on from generation

17
00:01:17,429 --> 00:01:15,280
to generation

18
00:01:20,230 --> 00:01:17,439
using the dexterity developed through

19
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:20,240
years of honing this craft a group of

20
00:01:24,870 --> 00:01:22,960
women at the navajo-owned henry hillson

21
00:01:28,390 --> 00:01:24,880
company have sewn some of the blue

22
00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:28,400
jumpsuits worn by nasa astronauts

23
00:01:34,789 --> 00:01:31,920
each suit required 150 separate sewing

24
00:01:38,630 --> 00:01:34,799
functions and nearly all met nasa's

25
00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:40,630
it's a long way from the navajo

26
00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:43,040
reservation to the shuttle simulators

27
00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:45,520
and training aircraft at nasa's johnson

28
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:47,360
space center in houston

29
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:49,360
but it's the contrast that makes this

30
00:01:56,030 --> 00:01:51,680
relationship so intriguing

31
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,910
self-sufficiency

32
00:02:02,550 --> 00:01:59,360
we want

33
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:02,560
people outside the reservation to know

34
00:02:07,590 --> 00:02:05,520
that navajo nation is saying come

35
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:07,600
just come see navajo

36
00:02:10,469 --> 00:02:09,520
give us your bottom line let us work

37
00:02:12,710 --> 00:02:10,479
with you

38
00:02:14,550 --> 00:02:12,720
because navajo means business and we

39
00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:14,560
like to have businesses for our young

40
00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:15,920
people

41
00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:18,640
sewing the astronaut suits
