Day 8 - Travel to Flagstaff

Today was our final day in Pinon. We had a delicious breakfast cooked by Rena, then we started our closing ceremony. We reflected on our time and felt really grateful for Roberto and his family for being so compassionate and patient when teaching us about the Diné culture. We said our goodbyes to Roberto, Evelyn and Rena. Evelyn gave us hugs and treated us like family. They told us to keep in touch, and we wrote thank you notes expressing our gratitude to them. Then, we started our trek back to Flagstaff. In the cars we sang songs, rested, and listened to music. When we arrived in Flagstaff we took our first hot showers since we left on Thursday. The showers were nice, but we missed Pinon. We got a yummy dinner out and before heading to bed our whole group bonded over a game of baseball. 

We're looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow!

Day 3 - Travel to Flagstaff

Watch the short video here .      Today we arrived at SFO at 11am excited to begin our travels. We flew for an hour and a half from SFO to PHX where we had an hour before our connection to Flagstaff. That flight was blissful and brief being 45 minutes long where we could see the landscape of the state. Upon arrival in Flagstaff we met Marcella and Lauren, our guides from Global Works, and drove to the cabins and hogan we are staying in here tonight. We spent the evening exploring the area, playing games, and orienting ourselves for our first full day tomorrow where we will transfer to Pinon. Everyone is doing well and we are excited to meet Roberto and his family there and learn more about the Navajo Nation! - Miki and Sienna

Day 2- Preparing to go to NAZ

  Even though we are still in California, we thought it would be best to update you on what we did at school. Today, we focused on researching our topics: Political, cultural, economic/social, and sustainable. Each group explored numerous articles/websites to obtain as much information as possible on their subject, then, based on that, created a research question. These designated questions will help us determine what questions or notes we should take/ask when we arrive at the reservation. Following our discoveries, we will create a presentation based on what we learned. We would like to give you some insight into what the groups completed today. Nuria, Keira, Liam, and Mikki delved into the history of water rights. While Bianca, Sophie, Ethan, and Zander researched Diné art/culture throughout history and how certain legislation/restrictions affected their culture. Paige, Claire, Brad, and Daniel explored the US governmental impact on the Diné economy. Finally, Leotei, Sofia, Sienna, a

Day 4 - Pinon

  Today we woke up in our luxurious cabins and ate a hearty breakfast at 8am. We then packed our bags and boarded the vans for a three hour drive to Pinon. We stopped at a Mexican restaurant for lunch and had a filling meal. After lunch, we completed our journey to Pinon. We were greeted at the farm in Pinon by our host, Roberto, who led us on a tour of the property. We explained the cultural and spiritual significance of the hogan we will be staying in, telling us about the matriarchal traditions of his culture. We then went on a walk where he explained the projects we will be working on during our time here, especially teaching us about the watershed and dry land farming. We learned a lot about his family and their history here and are excited to meet them over the weekend as well. For dinner we then enjoyed Navajo tacos, cooked by Roberto's mom Rena. Overall it was a great day to continue settling in. We are setting up camp now and looking forward to seeing the stars in an area
