A Ph.D documentary on Navajo culture, people, & social conditions.  Mr. Alex Mitham, Ph.D. Candidate from Keele University in England has grounded his interest with the Navajo by stepping within the four sacred mountains to acquire and view first hand Navajo History.  

Apparently, literature is obsolete regarding current Navajo information at Alex's place of education.  With his detailed account, a compelling description of Navajo oral history, political structure , and architecture will be presented as his Doctoral Thesis. His publication will be an asset to both his institution and the Navajo Nation

My contribution with Alex occurred on April 8, 2000 in Window Rock.
