Column: Navajo Interactive Museum shows 'culture like no other'
Posted: Friday, July 15, 2011
"I've long been fascinated with the Navajo culture.
This tribe inhabiting southeastern Utah and northeastern Arizona is depicted by historians as a war-like nation, but they have also have an intriguing lifestyle featuring festive art and outdoor survival skills.
Much of the latter is displayed in the Navajo Interactive Museum in Tuba City, Ariz., with the theme - "A culture like no other."
And it is that.
The museum features much of the traditional Navajo lifestyle. Living for centuries in a cold semi-desert setting, the tribe weaved colorful blankets to keep warm. Their love of turquoise can be witnessed by anyone who has driven by or stopped a jewelry stand south of Page, Ariz."
