Pirates of the Navajo Nation

October 21, 2009

By NVOD editor

Piracy of DVDs and CDs on the Navajo Nation has become a huge problem. This preview is a documentary in the works that will be used to educate the Navajo Nation council on piracy issues. It will also be used in conjunction with legislation to ban the piracy of DVDs and CDs on the Navajo Nation which will go before the Navajo Nation fall session. Please join us in support of this legislation at the Navajo Nation fall council sessions in Window Rock, AZ on October 15 2005 - October 19.
