When fifteen-year-old Camille Many Beads Tso was thirteen, she decided to make a film about her great-great-great grandmother, a Native American Navajo. People knew her under the name of Yellow Woman. In the eighteen sixties, Yellow Woman was one of many Navajoes who had to leave their land in Arizona and travel four hundred eighty kilometers on foot to a reservation in New Mexico.

During this long walk, many Navajo people died from cold and hunger. On the reservation, there was no wood for fires, the drinking water was bad, and the desert land was no good for growing plants. Yellow Woman survived, but many people did not.

Camille Many Beads Tso called her film In the Footsteps of Yellow Woman, whose story she heard from her grandmother. Camille started making this film as her school project, but it soon grew into something more important. She did the interviews, read books and articles about that time period, studied the pictures of the long walk, and finally wrote the script.

Then Camille asked her cousins to help her to act, sing, make costumes and edit. The result is a beautiful film. They have shown it at more than thirty film festivals. The film has won nine prizes.

"I believe that everybody has a story to tell," said the young filmmaker. "Any small detail in their family can mean something big. Wherever your family is now, there had to be a reason to be there. Our stories are going to be amazing to our grandchildren. And then our grandchildren's stories are going to be amazing to their grandkids. So, if we keep learning and asking questions and passing down the stories, they are going to stay with the family for a long time."
