Dan Budnik is a Flagstaff based photographer who first came to this region in the 70s to photodocument forced relocation of Navajos living on "Hopi Partition Land" on Black Mesa. It was his documentation of the conflict that led to the 1985 Academy Award winning documentary "Broken Rainbow" which examines coal exploitation and the origins of the Navajo - Hopi tribal government conflict.

hózhó - a word that defines the essence of Navajo (Diné) philosophy. It encompasses beauty, order, harmony + expresses the idea of striving for balance. Taurin Tsinnijinnie at Moenkopi Wash, Highway 89. August 2016

"what we do to the mountain, we do to ourselves." the ski resort in flagstaff is on a mountain considered sacred to 13 tribes. reclaimed waste water is being used to make snow which the tribes consider a desecration. #sacredsite #environmentalism #savethepeaks #dontskithepee #wheatpaste

"Colíbri" 2015// 1026 Grand Ave // Phoenix, AZ // A mural that honors the work of @colibricenter for the human rights - an organization that reunites the bodies of missing migrants with their families, and helps them through the process of grieving. Colibri also helps end migrant death along the U.S. Mexico border and supports the immigrant rights movement. This mural was a massive 100 foot community effort of nearly all artists of color including: @mataruda @justseeds artists: @jessxchen @jetsonorama Thea Gahr, Phoenix artists: @lucinda_yrene @lalocota @theallelectrickitchen and Jules Badoni. It was produced by Netroots Nation, @dbirdy and the creators of 2013 Sundance film "Who Is Dayani Cristal?" @lksriv and @marcsilver . Huge thanks to @monimatamochacha. Remember the millions of migrants who lost their lives crossing the Sonoran Desert. Empower the mothers who often carry the weight of grief. Know that brave women as well as men attempt the journey across the border everyday. In time, the wheatpaste skeleton of the colibrí will peel off and reveal a mother and child. Photo by Jess X. Chen.
