Tell Me The Landscape In Which You Live And I'll Tell You Who You Are
The story of Whitehorse The Man is a true story of one man, from the Navajo Nation, who survived to provide for future generations. He looked to his one creator and knew when he left this world, he would be reunited with his beloved wife, Theodora.
In the distance, billowing thunderclouds against an orange and red sky peer behind the towering steeples of Monument Valley, Arizona. A familiar sound of the Ancient Ones could be heard chanting, singing and dancing throughout the Valley as though they came from beyond to rejoice in the birth of a new life. On this day, August 12, 1906, the Dine, on the Navajo Reservation, were to receive its newest member whom they named Whitehorse. Dine are proud people who live by their culture and traditions, but most importantly, their word. The name Whitehorse symbolizes purity, heroism and freedom. A year later, a little brother was born. Whitehorse grew up on the reservation until the death of his parents around 1914. A trapper passing through the reservation took ill and passed away. Later, they learned the trapper carried their worst fear. . .Yellow Fever. One-by-one, families including his mother and father, became ill and left to join their Ancestors. Yellow Fever, the bringer of death, spread like wildfire. His parents weren't the only ones taken away. Over 800 people contracted this devastating virus and perished; some, never to be heard of again--lost over time--forgotten souls. This was the beginning of a life that has been sleeping in the eyes of the Garcia Family, descendants of Whitehorse, who neglected their heritage by not acknowledging
