TRIVIA

Trivia

With production booming in New Mexico, the Tesuque Pueblo reservation converted its 1950s-era gambling destination into Camel Rock Studios, booking AMC's 'Dark Winds' as its first high-profile project.

Highpockets was a slang term used in the 1960's to refer to the earlier World War II generation who commonly wore extremely high-waisted pants with the waistband pulled up above the navel. The term coincides with a person who is given a position of high standing, but is completely undeserving for reasons of incompetence, ineffectiveness, or a broad ignorance of subjects that are at the core of his responsibilities

A very young Lou Diamond Phillips played Jim Chee in The Dark Wind (1991) in 1991 which was also based on the Tony Hillerman book and also co-produced by Robert Redford. Phillips and McLarnon acted together in the Longmire (2012) series.

The Navajo refer to themselves as the Dine', or Dineh literally meaning "The People."

American Doctors began sterilizing indigenous women in the 1930s, and grew at a faster rate in the 1970s, when Congress passed the Family Planning Services Act, which subsidized said sterilizations for Medicaid and Indian Health Service patients. The rationale for these procedures were centered around fears of global overpopulation and increases in welfare spending which would put an undue strain on the budget of the local community and the Federal Treasury.
