Most of this movie was made in and around Superior Arizona. Some scenes are from Globe Arizona. The steep cliffs shown in numerous scenes is called Apache Leap. Ironic being this movie and series was based on the Navajo Indians. The Movie U Turn was also famously filmed here as well.
The books are all set on the Navajo Reservation in the Four Corners area of Utah, New Mexico and Arizona, where the three states meet, it is several thousand square miles and contains not just Navajo, but Zuni, Ute, Hopi just to name a few of the tribes inhabiting the reservation.
Of the actors in this film, who have their tribes listed in their biographies on IMDb, none are actually Navajo, as are the majority of the characters in the movie. If you read the books, each tribe has very distinct physical features that make them easily distinguishable among other Indian people. There were several of the supporting cast did not include their tribal affiliations in their IMDb biographies, but the two main actors are not Navajo.
"Jim Chee: I don't see how I can do this. Wilson Sam: Do what? Jim Chee: This case. It's too much. Wilson Sam: Wrong, Jim. Cop, medicine man, garbage man... No matter who you are, the dark wind blows on everyone, Jim. You just have to push yourself through it."
"Jim Chee: Did you get a look at 'em? German woman: What you say? Jim Chee: The boys who took your rental car, do you know what they look like? German woman: Oh, all the same. You know, there were Indians, like the two of you. [referring to him and Dr. Yazzie] Jim Chee: I get it. "Like the two of you." [writing in his notebook]"
