The Navajo Nation

The Navajo Nation is a federally recognized Native American tribe located primarily in parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. It is the largest land reservation in the United States, covering about 27,000 square miles. The Navajo people have a rich cultural heritage, language, and traditions, and they govern themselves through a tribal government. The Nation plays a significant role in preserving Navajo identity, managing natural resources, and promoting economic development. It also faces challenges such as poverty, healthcare access, and infrastructure needs, while working to maintain its cultural sovereignty and community well-being.
