In the words of the traditional elders: "There is no word for relocation in the Navajo language: to relocate is to disappear and never be seen again." 25% of the first group of Navajo adults who were relocated were dead within six years. BROKEN RAINBOW speaks for all indigenous people who are struggling to survive as individuals and as distinct cultures in the face of Western technology and values. The film is an appeal from the Earth herself, as it has become impossible in America today to separate environmental issues from Native American survival.
