Need Inspiration?
To make things easy, think of your grandma working at the BIA or for the Tribe, use ideas from inspired by Navajo Code Talkers. This year's theme is all about saying thank you to everyone who has worked in a service position, from those communities of workers at IHS, BIA, Schools, Universities, NM/AZ/UT/CO/Fed/Navajo Nation Government, construction, cleaning, anything that we utilize as a public service. Then make it patriotic. The Navajo have proudly served and made a place within American. History. So we look forward to your ideas and to seeing you July 27, 2024.
