Scope and Contents
Series 2: Diné (Navajo) Community and Events Photographs, 1975-1980 includes 4295 35mm film and 460 120mm film black and white photographic negatives and 8 associated contact sheets. Adler documented Diné (Navajo) community events throughout the Navajo Nation, which includes modern-day Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The photographic negatives depict scenes with Diné (Navajo) community members, both at their homes and hogans as well as at community events such as at protests, art shows, contests, in court, and ceremonies like weddings. Notable events include the Miss Navajo Contest, the National Indian Youth Council v. Adrus, the Women's Conference in Shiprock, and the Dominguez - Escalante Bicentenial Expedition. Adler's photographs exhibit the range of her documentary and personal work throughout the Navajo Nation and the breadth of her connectedness to the greater Diné (Navajo) community. There may be content within this series that is considered culturally sensitive.
