Special Pages
Ancestral Art: Navajo Culture Information __ A commercial web site which contains a lot of cultural information about the Navajo Nation. - From Ancestral Art - http://www.ancestral.com/cultures/north_america/navajo.html
Building a Hogan ___"In the land of the Navajo, comparatively few people still live in hogans, however they are still in use today all over the reservation. There are two types of hogans, the male and the female hogan... The instructions on this page relate to the female hogan." - Illustrated - From Al Durtschi - http://waltonfeed.com/peoples/navajo/hogan.html
Cryptology: Navajo Code Talkers in World War II __ "Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Peleliu, Iwo Jima: the Navajo code talkers took part in every assault the U.S. Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. They served in all six Marine divisions, Marine Raider battalions and Marine parachute units, transmitting messages by telephone and radio in their native language -- a code that the Japanese never broke." You can read the whole story here. - From US Navy - http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq61-2.htm
Explore the Navajo Nation __ Just as the title says, explore the land, learn about tourism initiatives and Navajo economy. "Since the Long Walk in the 1860's, the Navajo Nation decimated to a population of only 8,000. It has increased to a stronghold of more than 210,000. About 60 percent of Navajos are 24 years old or younger. In its infancy, the Navajo Nation governed itself by a complex language and clan system. The discovery of oil in the early 1920's clarified the need for a more systematic form of government. So, in 1923, the Navajos established a tribal government; thus providing an entity to deal with American oil companies wishing to lease Navajoland for exploration." - illustrated - From Americanwest.com - http://www.americanwest.com/pages/navajo2.htm
Living
in the Navajo Past __ "The Navajo people have lived in their homeland
for thousands of years. The land is poor by present civilization's standards but
to the Navajo it is a land full of riches. Many of these people live today like
their ancestors before them with a few sheep and a garden plot on red dirt that
only a Navajo could make anything grow in. The Navajo people produce everything
they need. The world could be in an Apocalypse and I think the Navajo people
would hardly notice." You will find history, an introduction to Navajo culture
and a lot more. - illustrated - From Walton Feed -

Navajo __ "First man and first woman were created by the Holy People (basketmakers), and brought to the surface through a series of underworlds. The Navajo story of their origin is long and complicated with many versions varying to as having come through twelve underworlds grouped by fours into three layers, or "rooms" which are also called worlds. We will find this story. And we did. Here is a short version:" You will find this and much more. This website also covers history, cultural and linguistic anthropology, other stories and legends.

themselves, is the largest tribe of North American Indians. Long ago, the
ancestors lived in Northwestern Canada and Alaska. Over 1,000 years ago they
began to travel south and reached the southwestern United States. They met
farmers who are known as Pueblo Indians, and the Navajo began to settle near
them and learn from them." - From The Orchard School in Indianapolis, Indiana -
