Dreaming of Sheep in Navajo Country

I'm not a huge fan of this kind of work so I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Weisiger documents the failures of both the federal government and the Diné (Navajo) in response to the failing range on the Navajo Reservation. The mass slaughter of goats, sheep, and horses by the federal government not only failed to repair the range as conservationists hoped, but it also created a powerful legacy that overshadows the better parts of Collier's Indian New Deal program in the Navajo Country.
