For more than fifty years, Navajo people have gathered in the capital of the Navajo Nation to witness the Miss Navajo Nation beauty pageant. This illuminating documentary traces twenty-one-year-old Crystal Frazier’s quest to win the Miss Navajo crown, along the way exploring the important role of women in Diné culture. Interweaving personal stories of past winners, MISS NAVAJO follows a new group of contestants as they showcase their skills in everything from dance to music to sheep slaughtering.
