| Note |
Notes from producer Jenny Brundin: This is an audio portrait of Native American reflections on September 11th and its aftermath. The piece opens with a striking image: On the morning of 9/11, Navajos looked into the sky and saw-- nothing. They heard only silence. Typically, airplanes are ubiquitous over the empty desert landscape. But to the Navajos who told me the story, it was the first sign that something was wrong. In the piece, I tried to capture Navajo thoughts on their lives, and on war and patriotism after September 11. I wanted to let Navajos share the spiritual and life lessons they gained from the tragedy. The portrait-- with no narration-- is steeped in sounds indigenous to the reservation, including Navajo music and the voices of sheepherders and artists, young people and elders. |
