Life in the Navajo Nation

  • A desert landscape with a mountain ridge with multiple earthen tones sits below a blue sky with some white clouds. In the foreground are desert grasses and shrubs.
    Travel to our distribution sites on the Navajo Reservation brings us through the uniquely beautiful desert countryside.
  • Beneath a beautiful deep blue sky, amidst desert shrubs and small trees, a trailer home sits next to a hogan, which is a round, single story building with a roof that slopes from a high point in the middle.
    This traditional hogan alongside a trailer home are a common sight in the Navajo Nation.
  • A woman arranges packets wrapped in corn husks on a tray in a commercial-style kitchen while other women look on.
    The women treated our team to traditional Navajo kneel down bread, made of corn and baked in corn husks. This is a way to preserve the corn for consumption during the winter.
  • A black enamaled pot contains a stew with abundant slices of carrots, cubed potatoes and pieces of mutton on the bone.
    We made a traditional Navajo mutton stew in the solar oven.
