Navajo Tribal Park
Service Gets Museum
Sam Day III, Chairman of the Park Commission, has been instrumental in laying the groundwork for the acquisition of a building for the establishment of a Tribal Museum.
For years Tribal leaders have recognized the necessity of an archive which would house the various and numerous materials which represent the culture and the heritage of the Navajo Tribe. Through the efforts of Day and other Commissioners this dream has evolved into reality with the transfer of the log building at the Fairgrounds from the Arts and Crafts Guild to the Navajo Parks Commission. The Arts and Crafts Guild will move into their new building on or about the first of May, and the log building will then be remodeled into a combined museum, information center, and Ranger Headquarters.
Anyone interested in donating or loaning articles to the museum, is asked to contact Martin Link at Ranger Headquarters in Window Rock.
