Monument Valley Tour - Part 2

Part of the tour is a visit to a Navajo Hogan, there are male (ceremonial) and female (family homes) hogans and the doors always face east. The small hogan behind the female one is a sweat lodge. Inside we were shown how sheeps wool was cleaned and spun, it was amazing how long the yarn was from a small piece of wool. Also on display were other Navajo artefacts, some of which are still in use today. The tiny settlement is still inhabited and they bring water in from Goulding’s where we’re staying. The only spring in Monument Valley is used for livestock, sheep, cattle and horses. We’ve been looking for an authentic dream catcher and found one here !!Read more
