Navajo studies

Navajo Studies is an academic field that explores the history, culture, language, and contemporary issues of the Navajo Nation, one of the largest Indigenous tribes in the United States. It involves understanding Navajo traditions, social structures, and their relationship with the land, as well as addressing challenges they face today, such as economic development and sovereignty. The field aims to promote respect, preservation, and appreciation of Navajo identity, fostering better understanding between Navajo communities and the wider society through multidisciplinary research, education, and cultural engagement.
