# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Sons of Gunshooter: A Navajo Resistance Story
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 02:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Join us on Saturday, March 28 at 1:00pm as Dorothy Denetclaw (Diné) and Matt Fitzsimons discuss their recently released book, "The Sons of Gunshooter: A Navajo Resistance Story." The book reexamines the 1919 killing of the Indian trader Charlie Hubbell and subsequent murder trial while simultaneously embedding the story in a much larger saga of colonization and resistance. One of the authors is a descendant of participants in the case; the other is an investigative journalist. By merging Diné oral traditions with archival evidence, they upend one false narrative after another.
