What is the Navajo word of the day?

Background Information

The Navajo are the largest federally recognized tribe of America with 300,048 tribal members. They lived as hunters and gatherers until contact with the Pueblo and Spanish, when they adopted crop farming and maintaining livestock. Traditionally, they were semi-nomadic. Extended kinship groups had seasonal dwellings for livestock and crops. In the Navajo society, women owned livestock and land. After getting married, a Navajo man moves in with his bride and her mother's people. Females received property inheritance and males represented in tribal politics.

Vision

Vision: The iCross-Cultural Citizen Project’s vision is to create an online cross-cultural space for students, professionals, and youth to learn and exchange cross-culturally sensitive information about contemporary indigenous experiences. From that outsider student’s perspective, we will try to theoretically explore possible collaborative solutions to problems that affect the indigenous populations of our planet. Finally, we hope for the future creation of a space where indigenous youth can share their experiences and their realities with us for real mutual collaboration to take place.
