Skinwalkers is a 2002 mystery television film based on the novel of the same name by Tony Hillerman, one of his series of mysteries set against contemporary Navajo life in the Southwest. It features an all-Native cast, with Adam Beach and Wes Studi playing officers Jim Chee and Joe Leaphorn.[1] It was produced as part of the PBS Mystery! series, filmed on the Navajo reservation and directed by Chris Eyre.
The film was the highest rated program of 2002 on PBS. It is the first of three television films based on the same series of books, the other two being adaptations of A Thief of Time and Coyote Waits. It was repackaged in 2016 with the two following films as Skinwalkers: The Navajo Mysteries on Netflix.[2]
