The Navajo People

The Navajos call themselves "Diné" - "The People." They have been living here for more than four hundred years. When the Spaniards explored this area in the 1600s they used the name "Apache de Navajo," meaning "Apache of the Cultivated Fields."

Today approximately 165,000 people live in Navajo country. The Navajo Nation is governed by an elected tribal council headed by a tribal chairman. The council is made up of representatives of various election districts.

Navajo country is also divided into chapters. Community meetings and activities take place in the many chapter houses you will see in more populated areas. Navajos have traditionally been a democratic society and never had hereditary chiefs as did some other tribes.

Window Rock, Arizona is the capitol of the nation. Many visitors enjoy sketching or photographing the people and the land. Years ago this would have been considered offensive.

Today such activity is common, but permission should be asked before photographing or drawing people or personal property. A fee is often expected.

Navajo Art

The Navajo people have been recognized as extraordinary artists. The Navajo women weave beautiful blankets expressing warmth, earth colors, and unique designs. These designs often depicted earth-like patterns, figures of Navajo spiritual significance
