A visit to the Navajo Festival is like traveling to the Navajo Nation. An authentic presentation of the Navajo “Beauty Way” philosophy of living in harmony is offered by more than 55 Navajo artists, storytellers, and cultural interpreters from many clans.
Through varied local studies, research, collections, preservations and interpretations, Flagstaff's (AZ) Museum of Northern Arizona has established programs to deal with the area's heritage. This heritage includes not only history, but cultural and even natural accounts of the Colorado Plateau. Visitors are rewarded with warmth and the need to be held responsible for the region, as well as enjoy the history that it so loves to share.
The original programs began in 1928, focusing on research, collections, education, conservation and a sense of place. The museum hopes to develop/diffuse appreciation and knowledge and collect/preserve both scientific/artistic artifacts, as well as protecting prehistoric/historic sites, artwork, scenic locations, local plant life and wildlife. It also aimed to continue the maintenance of the museum by providing Flagstaff with research facilities, as well presenting an enjoying environment for all.
The museum covers some two hundred acres of campus and forest land, drawing attention from all age groups, both from within and outside the institution. It contains over 5 million native treasures, pieces of fine art and naturally occurring scientific specimens, spread between fifty two buildings.
Festivals, arts academy courses, a charter school, elderly appreciation, field trip, discovery, historical retreat and field programs are amongst its selections. These also include varied tours for the general public and schools.
