Navajo Language spoken by Jim Chee!, 7 May 2000
Author: morris bitsie (morrisb705@spinn.net) from Navajo Nation, USA

When I first saw The Dark Wind, I was impressed that local people were cast as extras and were speaking the Navajo Language. The subtitles were accurate.

When I heard Chee speak Navajo, it was broken but he's not a native speaker. I was very impressed that he took the time to actually learn to speak the words.
