It Has Become Beauty Again.
Our friend Jon Yazzie from Dzil Ta’ah Adventures is featured in this beautiful film documenting his journey back home to connect with his Native land through bikepacking and ultimately find his place in the world…
PUBLISHED Sep 28, 2021
Jon Yazzie struggled to connect to his cultural identity for some time, leading him to make poor choices and lack a sense of belonging. It wasn’t until he made his way back to his Navajo home that he could regain that connection and feel at peace with himself. Our friends from Why Cycles just sent over this lovely film by Austin Smock about Jon and his journey. Watch it below and scroll down for more about Dzil Ta’ah Adventures and the Navajo Youth Bikepack Series…
