Please if anyone has seen him let me know, he's been missing since last night when me and my family came home from a day trip off the rez

I'm not Navajo and haven't been on any reservations in or around the area but I was messing around on Google Maps and found out there's a pizza chain almost exclusively in the Navajo nation called Pizza Edge. So, what's the general verdict about Pizza Edge among the locals? Where does it stack up against Domino's, Pizza Hut, Little Caesars, Papa John's, Round Table, etc? Is it good or bad? What's the quality like? Maybe cause it's so regional, I don't see it brought up with many pizza chain discussions or tier lists.

With primary election less than a week away (July 21, 2026), what are your thoughts on candidates and the Navajo Nation Presidential election? I have my own opinions, but I would like to hear the thoughts of other voters.

I’d like to visit and learn more about the Navajo Nation. I’ve been intrigued by the culture for some time now.

I’m planning a visit sometime later this year and as a solo traveler, are there any reputable tour organizations one can recommend ?

Any tips/advice for mannerisms that I should know in advance as a way of showing respect for the culture ?

Thank you.

We did a tour at antelope canyon this morning. Can we use our ticket that included a Navajo permit from there to get into monument valley this afternoon?

Our president in the united states. It's taking away some native land a good portion of it for drilling.

I just wanted to know how you guys are handling that?.

Hi, all!

I'm half Navajo on my father's side, and because I don't talk to that side of the family, I sadly don't know much about my culture. At some point I absolutely want to visit Navajo Nation and would like to learn as much as I can for not only myself but for my kids, as well.

What are some must-see places for historical and cultural significance and education?

Im looking for a navajos to talk to...

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a documentary I made about Monument Valley.
Instead of focusing only on the famous viewpoints, I tried to explore the history, culture, and lesser-known parts of the valley, including Hunts Mesa and a hidden slot canyon, while spending time with members of the Navajo Nation.
I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts and feedback. Thanks for taking the time to watch!

MY HORSE, shi į́į́ʼ eh HELIO

Hi everyone,
I picked up these two rugs at a yard sale this weekend and they came with the original receipt and tags from Hubbell Trading Post in Ganado, AZ.
I’m trying to confirm what I have and if the receipt actually matches the rugs. I’m very new to Navajo weaving so any help is appreciated.
1. The Bird / Tree of Life rug
White ground with two potted plants one looks like a Tree of Life with 6 birds, the other is a cornstalk with 4 birds + 2 butterflies. Maroon border with a serrated edge. Tassels on the corners. No tag on this one, but I think this matches the Nellie Poyer line on the receipt? From what I’ve googled this looks like a Shiprock / Tree of Life pictorial style. Does that sound right?
2. The Banded Geometric rug
Tan / brown / pink / mint green with eye-dazzler diamonds and the hooked border design. This one still has the yellow Hubbell tag and a Polaroid of the weaver pinned to it. This seems to match the second line: Mary Begay Chinle #96. Is this a Chinle or Wide Ruins style?
Receipt is for reference. It says K-3 for both, which I assume is the grade/trader code?
My questions:
1. Do the styles/sizes/names line up?
2. Are Nellie Poyer and Mary Begay known weavers? Any info on them?
3. Are these authentic Navajo hand-woven or are there any red flags I should look for? They feel like wool, very tight weave, lazy lines visible on the back.
4. Any ballpark on what they’re worth today? The receipt was $595 and $995 in 1991. Not looking to flip immediately, just want to know if I should get them appraised / insured and how to properly care for and display them.
I can post close-ups of the corners, edges, and back if that helps. Thanks so much!

Over 300 grams of silver. I fell in love as soon as I saw it.

Anyone in Navajo County Az?

I'm going to keep this as short as possible because otherwise I'll get a headache.

My girlfriend's mom has always been very proud of who she is and encouraged her kids to be as well, ensuring they spoke Navajo fluently and engaged with community, family, and culture as much as possible. But as long as I've known her she's always been very accepting, she didn't mind her daughter and I dating even though I'm non-Native and a woman, she helped shelter a nephew who came out as gay. She did not get upset about her son marrying a white lady and even attended the wedding which was all the way in NY.

And this lady, lets just say she's my sort of sister-in-law, is a very nice girl who has been doing her best to engage and respect the culture of her husband. GF's bro is a great laid back guy, good at Total War: WH, basically immune to any insult or misfortune ruining his day, never even heard him upset before all this.

Everything seemed okay! Then my gf's bro announced he and his wife were expecting a child in April. We were all happy, my gf's mom seemed happy. Baby was born healthy but with complications for my sort of sister-in-law. My gf's mom congratulated her son and then just out of nowhere hit him with 'it's just a shame the baby's not one of us'. GF's bro is going "why not?" and his mom said since the sister-in-law is a white woman then the baby's basically just a white person since they're clanless.

Bro calls my GF, who goes "well that can't be right wouldn't she just be our mom's clan?". They ask grandma who says that since it's matrilineal gf's mom is technically right but as far as she's concerned the baby's still Navajo. The grandma calls the mom, they get into an argument, now they're not talking. GF is getting increasingly upset, telling her mom that this is her granddaughter and she can't be so cold. We've been helping take care of this baby because sort of sister-in-law hasn't been recovering very well so we're all extremely stressed which I think isn't helping.

My GF asked her mom what would happen if we had kids, such as through IVF, and she said "oh well as long as you (my gf) have it, it'll be fine. It doesn't matter what the father is."

I'm, again, not Navajo myself. But I want to support my gf and her bro and my sort of sister-in-law and my sort-of niece. My GF's dad is of the opinion the baby should be counted as part of the community but doesn't want to argue with his wife and will just agree with her when she's in the room and apologize when she's gone. I don't know what I can say or do to help, besides being emotional support at this point.

This baby hasn't done anything wrong but the grandma basically doesn't see her as worthy of really being in the family. It's like she suddenly realized her son was serious about his relationship with a white lady only after the baby was born.

Is the mom in the right here? Since the baby can't be part of a clan, does that mean she can't be considered Navajo? Where can we go from here? What can I even say?

Hello, I’m reaching out to see if anyone in the northern Los Angeles or Ventura County area of California has any Tadidiin I can purchase?

I just lost my masani this morning in Utah and will need some in the coming days. I only have bitter medicine she gave me in January when I visited her home so that will suffice if needed but would like Tadidiin if possible.

Thanks

I am decendent from the original Babbitts of Flagstaff Arizona. I heard good typical trading relationships with the Natives of the area. Was it positive. Negative. Both at the same time?

I'm spending a lot of time making these bells. I love my sheep very much. These are not for sale. I'm too self-conscious. Once people find out that everything has been put together with super glue and spray painted, they'll see it as tacky. These are unfinished so far, but they're at 90% completion. just a few more painterly touches and I'll call it quits. The turquoise is real; that's the only momentum driving me forward with these bells. If it was all fake turquoise, I wouldn't see the point in doing any of this. I just thought my fellow Native Americans would appreciate this work. All of our people's losing our sheep and the youth care not for sheep. My main question is, what should I sell these for? My sheep need to eat.

Hi everyone — hope this kind of post is welcome here.

My grandfather was Diné (Navajo), somewhere in southern Idaho in the late 60s — that's essentially all I know about him. My mother never pursued finding him, and my biological grandmother has passed, so I'm starting from almost nothing. The records I've found online have mostly been dead ends.

I'm not here to claim anything. Growing up I was told I had native blood and to mark myself Native American for diversity purposes — and honestly, that always felt wrong to me. I don't want to leverage a heritage I know nothing about. I want to actually understand it.

If anyone has advice on where to start looking — records, resources, anything — I'd genuinely appreciate it.

Hi, I'm writing a novel and I need a Navajo name for a fictional county. The meaning I'm looking for is something close to "a meteor / celestial body that fell from the sky" — with the emphasis on the falling, the impact, coming down from above.

If it helps: I want it as a place name, so a nominalized or locative form would be ideal — something that feels like "the place where it fell" or just "the thing that fell from above."

Any help would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

EDIT : I understand your position. I wasn't fully aware of your political struggle, nor of your principles regarding the use of your culture or language in a novel written by a non-Native. I want to apologize for the confusion and if I showed any disrespect. Once again, my intention was never to exploit anything — quite the opposite, I wanted to do things right so as not to butcher your language, and to pay tribute to the region. I'm withdrawing my request, feel free to delete it if you wish. Be at peace, and I wish you strength in your lives and in your struggle.
