Fighters

Teenage Wyland and his older brother Lee must navigate the world of guns, girls, basketball and family honor on the rez. Will Wyland be a bully to eager Derrin Kinyonie, or let him play? Will he step out of his brother’s shadow and learn what it means to stand alone in the shifting, ever-changing landscape of military fathers and tests of strength, in the clashing worlds of revivals and Navajo ceremony, among the asphalt and desert sands? Set in the late 90s in the Navajo Nation, this is the story of the bonds of brothers, of roles that we love but also from which we try to break free.
