Families are being invited to participate in a virtual celebration of Navajo Nation Heritage Day Nov. 26.
The event will be available for viewing from 10 am-12 pm on the Nez-Lizer Facebook page. It will include performances from Navajo artists and a special guest who will be introduced during the event.
"This month was a time to cherish and celebrate our rich and diverse cultures, traditions, languages, and legacies," Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez said. "On Native American Heritage Day, take the time to share and embrace your identity and history with your children, friends, neighbors, and the general public.
"Our cultures and traditions are very much alive every day, and with continued strength and resilience, our children and grandchildren will carry our teachings into the future," Nez continued.
"We commend all the states, cities, towns, counties, community groups, churches, universities, schools, and other organizations that observed Native American Heritage Month to honor our rich tribal history, culture, and languages," Navajo Nation Vice President Myron Lizer said. "Our stories, kinship, and languages are precious and sacred, and it makes us who we are today."
