Navajo Creation Story

The Navajo Creation Story explains how the world and humanity came to be.

The Holy People, supernatural beings, guided the emergence of people, plants, and animals. Central to the story is the importance of balance and harmony in nature. The Navajo believe in living in accordance with the teachings and maintaining harmony with the earth, which reflects their deep respect for life and the interconnectedness of all things.
