Marsha Weisiger: Dreaming of Sheep in Navajo Country
03/22/2010 7:00 pm
New Mexico State University professor Marsha Weisiger presents her book Dreaming of Sheep in Navajo Country, which tells the story of one of the most notorious events in Navajo history: the livestock reduction program of the 1930s. Hundreds of thousands of Navajo goats, sheep, and horses were killed in an attempt to eliminate overgrazing on the Navajo reservation, yet Weisiger argues that federal officials worsened matters, resulting in a collective memory of trauma, a rejection of range conservation policies, and a chronic wasteland.
