We strive to educate and advocate for our traditional teachings as we protect and provide a voice for all life in the Four Sacred Mountains. Our main goal is to empower local and traditional people to organize, speak out and determine their own destinies.
Membership means active participation in the work of protecting our homeland.
Our constituents are mostly non-English speaking and live without the conveniences of electricity and telephones in a geographically rural area. According to the U.S. Census bureau, 44.3 percent of Navajo homes lack plumbing or electricity, while over 80 percent lack a telephone. We do not collect dues or run membership drives. Group membership is a foreign concept and culturally irrelevant in the Navajo way because, for our people, there is no such distinction. We live in the communities, our work is very integrated with our communities, and we don't see ourselves as separate from the community.
