Living in the Navajo Past...
Living in the Navajo Past Banner
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. Even though I'm not a Navajo myself, I have chosen to write these pages in the first person. Hopefully these pages will add insight into your own self reliance experience.

The Navajo people's ancient culture is very much alive. Most, if not all their children speak Navajo, and they are being tutored in the old ways. The Navajo culture is ancient. It goes back further than anyone can remember. But these teachings remain fresh and new, and as revelant today as the times when the Holy Ones gave them. These people have a very unique way of maintaining strong ties to the past and their ancient beliefs. To understand the Navajo and their self reliant nature you must first understand their culture. Their very movements are entrenched in their rich heritage. The Navajos are a perfect example of how a nation's very existence hinges on the powerful ancient forces that bind them together as a people. This is a very powerful force. For without this, I believe, they, as a people, would cease to be.
