CULTURE FEST: Miss Navajo

For the past 50 years, the Miss Navajo Nation pageant has celebrated Navajo women and traditional values, language and inner beauty. Held over a five-day period at the annual Navajo Nation Fair, contestants are required to showcase skills that are crucial to Navajo daily life, including sheep butchering, fry-bread making and rug weaving. Through interviews with new and previous pageant contestants, “MISS NAVAJO” reveals the importance of cultural preservation and the meaning of being a woman in Navajo culture.
