A Cultural Experience To Remember

Furnishings are sparse… either a mattress or a sheepskin lying on the dirt floor. The dirt floor represents Mother Earth and is kept very clean. A single door facing east to welcome the morning rays of the sun, and an opening in the center of the roof that represents the sky and serves as a hole for the stovepipe. In this way, with dirt and the sky as part of the home, the Navajo stays connected to what he holds most dear. A kerosene lamp throws shadows on the log walls where wedding baskets and cradleboards are hung.

The winter season is the traditional time for story-telling and games, especially the string games which Navajo children love to play. The ever popular coyote stories are told only in winter. Weather permitting, the stories are told while sitting around a camp fire under a sky filled with stars. Otherwise, the warmth of the Hogan sets the mood for an evening of Navajo lore.

An overnight stay in a Hogan isn’t for everyone. Perhaps just a visit inside a Hogan will do. To find out more about hogans, hotels, attractions, the many campgrounds, and RV Parks, we would like to welcome you to the Navajo Nation. Enjoy the beauty and power of the land that is rich in history and culture.
