‘Nothing Left For Me’ focuses on the trauma brought by the Navajo Livestock Reduction Program
“Nothing Left for Me” on KUNM’s University Showcase explores the lasting trauma of the Navajo Livestock Reduction Program. Implemented in the 1930s, it caused deep emotional wounds for Navajo families.
The documentary highlights forced herd reductions, resulting in loss of wealth and cultural heritage. It emphasizes the need to acknowledge historical injustices and support healing efforts.
Featuring Diné artist and UNM Department of Art alumnus Rapheal Begay’s “All Rez” exhibit, the program offers a contemporary perspective on Navajo resilience.
