SPIRIT WARRIORS: A LEGACY OF THE NAVAJO VETERAN

“Spirit Warriors” chronicles the history, service, sacrifice and dedication of the Navajo veteran from World War I to Iraq. The Native American has been the first to volunteer and fight for their country, their land and their people in every major conflict since World War I.

“Spirit Warriors” is the story of Americans who weren’t even recognized as citizens until they joined the US military and shed their blood on foreign soil.

Like so many other American veterans, the Navajo veteran suffers from PTSD and neglect from a government that often refuses their benefits and barely acknowledges their service and sacrifice. Yet the Navajo remain true and loyal patriots.

The film features interviews with veterans from World War II (Code Talkers) Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and Iraq.

“Spirit Warriors” was filmed on the Navajo Reservation in Chinle, Arizona.
