| Navajo Language and Culture Program |
|
According to the 2000 US Census, there are approximately 55,000 Native Americans living in Maricopa County. In addressing the needs of the Native population in the urban area, the Phoenix Indian Center recognizes the need to play our part in the preservation and retention of native languages and cultures, especially among our urban population. Through the cooperation of the Navajo Nation, we offer Navajo Language and Culture classes at the Phoenix Indian Center. Priority in these classes is given to Navajo tribal members where the classes are free of charge for Dine tribal members and their families. The Phoenix Indian Center is entering into dialogue with other Arizona tribes for collaborative projects on offering their Native language and cultural program at the Center.
