    • Trivia
      Most of this movie was made in and around Superior Arizona. Some scenes are from Globe Arizona. The steep cliffs shown in numerous scenes is called Apache Leap. Ironic being this movie and series was based on the Navajo Indians. The Movie U Turn was also famously filmed here as well.
    • Goofs
      The knife found in Chee's tire is held in place by grey putty, clearly seen and covering the tire tread.
    • Quotes

      Jim Chee: I don't see how I can do this.

      Wilson Sam: Do what?

      Jim Chee: This case. It's too much.

      Wilson Sam: Wrong, Jim. Cop, medicine man, garbage man... No matter who you are, the dark wind blows on everyone, Jim. You just have to push yourself through it.

    Suspenseful, extremely well written and very educational!
    Way to go Jamie! A great job! We hope this turns into a series.

    I like the fact that all the actors and the director were of Native-American descent, it gives the story more authenticity.

    A murder happened in an Indian country, thus the investigation and trial were subject to the jurisdiction of the tribe. This shows great aspects of Indian Law and culture. I highly recommend that law professors use this movie to teach the students how the justice system operates in an Indian Country. As a student of American Indian Law, I found that they were a minority group the was really hurt by the people that came to North America to find a land of freedom. Those who came in pursuit of happiness almost destroyed those who were living here so peacefully. I cannot believe that the American Indians were given land, but not given the right to use the water on the same land. Sorry, I am getting carried away in tangent here. I like anyone who gives any minority group an opportunity to be portrayed as `human beings' rather than the traditional stereotypes.

    The mystic side of the culture is shown as well, and it is done with details on their symbols and witchcraft.

    I think that the casting was wonderful, giving Native Americans a chance to shine. It would be a great to see a minority group that seldom has the chance to be portrayed in a positive fashion to have a series where they are not the `nasty, dumb guys' Jamie is following his dad, Robert Redford's, footsteps and breaking new ground in the American film industry! I am big fan of the entire family and will give them my whole heartedly support in any way I can! Robert Redford has given an endowment to the American cinema, as well as the International cinema like no one else I know of. It is so nice to see the second generation moving in the same direction!

    Suspenseful, extremely well written and very educational! BRAVO!
