Techqua Ikachi kertoo Hopien tarinan heidän itsensä kertomana. Isoäiti Carolyn Tawangyama on mukana elokuvassa, joka on valmistunut vuonna 1989.
Elokuva on katsottavissa kahdessa osassa ja se on tekstitetty englanniksi.
Hopi elders in the village of Hotevilla (Arizona) relate the story of their people’s history. As witnesses themselves, they tell about their peaceful resistance against the American government’s ex¬propriating their land and depriving them of their rights. The film shows the beauty of their culture, putting its threatened existence into a global perspective. This unique document of both current and historical images is a plea for the dignity of all peoples and for ecological balance on this earth – a legacy of lasting political relevance.
