New Mexico and northern Arizona, the<br />
Navajo Nation features breathtaking landscapes,<br />
action and adventure, a rich history, and the<br />
proud culture of North America’s largest<br />
indigenous tribe.<br />
Established by treaty in 1868, the Navajo Nation<br />
is managed as a sovereign country through<br />
agreements with the United States Congress.<br />

Nation’s borders, blending traditions with<br />
modern elements to create a vital society that<br />
continues to evolve in fascinating ways.<br />
As a tourist destination, the Navajo Nation<br />
offers something for everyone. Ride through<br />
Monument Valley on horseback. Stay for a<br />
week in a houseboat on Lake Powell. Collect<br />
amazing artwork, from symbolic rugs and<br />
baskets and exquisite turquoise and silver<br />
jewelry to handmade pottery and contemporary<br />
paintings and sculptures. Get a revealing look<br />
at authentic Navajo culture at a tribal fair. Take<br />
in an all-Indian rodeo. Or stand in Arizona,<br />
Colorado, New Mexico and Utah all at once at the<br />
Four Corners Monument.<br />
