KNOW BEFORE YOU GO “The Navajo Nation is a country within a country,” says Tanya Yazzie, owner of Canyon de Chelly Tours. Some of its laws, such as the prohibition of alcohol, differ from those elsewhere in the United States. Customs may also differ; some Navajo people feel it’s disrespectful to look people in the eyes, and some are uncomfortable shaking hands after the effects of COVD-19. When traveling in Tribal Nations, respect local laws and culture, practice Leave No Trace ethics and be open-minded to hearing different perspectives — and even difficult aspects of American history.
