'in this manner I am' is an animated short film adapted by the poet from a poem by the same name. A young Navajo woman and a non-native meet at an unidentified street corner and engage in conversation surrounding the phrase, 'Doo Dine yinishliida,' which translates to 'I am not a Dine.' Dine, like most other indigenous terms of self-identification, when translated literally, can mean person or human. This film has screened at a film festivals in Canada and New York City.—Anonymous
