Arizona is a vast state with spectacular landscapes that 22 tribal nations call home. Each of these tribal nations is distinct, with its own language and cultural tradition. However, an important sentiment that all commnuities share is a deep respect for the land and its bounty. We visit the Navajo Nation Museum in Window Rock, Arizona. Museum Director Manuelito Wheeler describes his institution’s exhibits and programs and talks about how they are working to help Navajo youth maintain language and cultural traditions.
