Even though the Navajo Nation lost $2.74 million at the 2002 Winter Olympics, the tribe reaped many benefits, an official said.

Among them: the Discover Navajo Pavilion was featured on NBC's Today Show, tribal members were able to participate in Olympic ceremonies and thousands of tourists learned about Navajo culture.
