Next, learn from JSI’s Hannabah Blue about why a baby’s first laugh is an important spiritual and emotional moment in Navajo culture. Finally, download a free beginner lesson and activity packet to teach College and Career Readiness Standards with pieces like “Introduction to Settler Colonialism” and “Acknowledge the Land”.
