Dustinn Craig

Early life Dustinn Craig was born in Mesa, Arizona, in 1975. His father was the comedian, comic artist, and musician Vincent Craig (Navajo Nation, 1950–2010), whose parents were Nancy Mariano Etsitty and Bob Etsitty Craig, a Navajo code talker. Dustinn's mother was Mariddie J. Craig (White Mountain Apache). Craig began filmmaking when, as a teenager, he started making skateboard videos.

Craig wrote, directed, and produced I Belong to This, a personal documentary that is part of the 2003 PBS documentary series Matters of Race. In 2005, the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona hired Craig to produce and direct three films, two about the Havasupai Tribe and the Colorado River Indian Tribes in Arizona and one entitled “HOME”, a multi-screen half hour documentary that features the imagery of the Native Southwest and first hand perspectives of Native People. Craig is also a recipient of the 2005 Rockefeller Media Arts Fellowship. The film premiered at the 2008 Native Cinema Showcase.
