"Only an 'insider' could record and explain the personal meaning, communal intricacy, and mystical significance of the kinaalda ceremony. Producer/director Lena Carr was denied her kinaalda ceremony because of her parent's relocation and their desire to integrate her into mainstream culture. By documenting her niece's rite of passage, Carr journeyed back to her childhood and found 'that piece of my life that I felt was missing.' Carr follows 13-year-old Tanya Sheperd's initiation into womanhood during the rite of passage that connects her to the Navajo community and culture."--Container.
