Did you know?

The Four Corners Monument in the Southwestern United States marks the point where the states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah meet. It is the only place in America where you can be in four states at once! The monument also marks the boundary between the Navajo Nation and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe Reservation, where the native American people still live.

Hint: comparable to our ''Drielandenpunt''

Life in a Hogan

In olden days, Navajo people lived in a hogan, meaning ‘home place’. These were built of logs, plastered with mud. A hogan had an entrance that faced east, so the people could see the rising sun. In front of the entrance was an overhang, providing shade from the heat.

Inside there was only one room, without interior walls or windows. A hole in the roof allowed smoke to escape. Women kept food and household items like dishes on one side of the room. On the other side, men stored their hunting tools, like bows and arrows. There was no furniture. A Navajo family would sit on deerskins around the central fire and sleep around it too.

The Navajo Tribe

The Navajo are the people who are native of the Four Corners region. The Navajo live in a very large reservation on their traditional territory: Navajo Nation. This is land that belongs to them and is under their control. The Navajo Nation has its own government, laws, police, and services, just like a small country. However, they are also US citizens and must obey American law. The Navajo people still honor a lot of their old traditions.
