Remembering 1974: Navajo Liberation vs. Farmington

In 1974, three Navajo men--John Earl Harvey, Herman Dodge Benally, and David Ignacio--were brutally beaten and murdered by white teenage settlers in the bordertown of Farmington, New Mexico. It was an act known as "Indian rolling." Diné grassroots leaders rose to this injustice by creating the Coalition for Navajo Liberation and the long hot summer of 1974 ensued. The marches and boycotts against the settlement of Farmington would go on to stand prominently in the history of Red Power and heralded future generations of Indigenous resistance. Saturday, September 21, 2024, the march and event Remembering 1974: Paths to Healing was organized by Diné elders who were present in 1974 and in coordination with other Navajo organizations who continue traditions of Indigenous resistance today. ---------------- Tracklist: 01.
