Synopsis:
In the 1950s, at just the point in his life when he could relax and
say he “has done well” as a rancher, entertainer and family
man, Gilbert Roberts faces a personal crisis. Forced to reexamine
his own life and actions, Gilly's search for new wisdom lands him
on a Navajo Indian reservation. There he is appalled and saddened
by the sight of so many sick and starving people and he vows to help.
Unwittingly,
Gilly has stumbled into the middle of the ongoing Navajo-Hopi Land
Dispute, which has forced thousands of Indians to relocate under duress.
Unable to abide the “raw inequities” he has witnessed, Gilly
spends the rest of his life bringing food and supplies to the Native
Americans and calling attention to their plight. The human rights
issues of indigenous peoples, exemplified by the land dispute, are
just now getting global attention. Did GillyŐs solo crusade, in some
small measure, help that cause?
