Hi, I just discovered Navajo Cops. I never watch any cop shows or reality TV, but I watched Navajo Cops because I was hoping to see the spectacular scenery in your part of the world. Well, the scenery is awesome, of course, but I also found myself admiring the tribal police officers. And on the other hand, I was also wondering why we aren't seeing some other kind of show about Navajo people. The media is all about conflict - the media believes there can be no "entertainment" without shock and negativity. I think the media is one of the most dangerous forces against humanity because they choose to spotlight the bad instead of the good. I'm going to send National Geographic letters requesting shows about the Navajo guides who show the tourists around...I want to know a lot more about THAT!!! When I finally get a chance to travel, my experience will be better if television would do something INTELLIGENT, like inform me of how to arrange my trip to Navajo land and inform me of what the guides will be showing me, and inform me of the rules I need to follow and all the other aspects of tourism. Jeez, National Geographic, stop stooping to the lows of Jerry Springer! Show some class, for God's sake!!! Anyway, as an outsider watching Navajo Cops, I totally understand what you said about the show and I share your disappointment in the bad choices of American media, but I want you to know that I did also get a great impression of Navajo culture from the police officers and from some of the other people on the show. The officers often mention their cultural values, which gave me a glimpse into Navajo culture and gave me a very good impression. So even though the media is devastatingly stupid, your police officers managed to rise above the media and communicate a great culture, loud and clear! Hoping you will soon see some improvements in the media representation of your culture, and Very Best Regards to you! Barbara Lynch, Colorado
