Live your own 30days or at least a week on Navajo nation...there are few locations that offer such services, most are located near points of interest such as Canyon De Shelly, Monument Valley, and I think there's a bed and breakfast location near Gallup, NM.
I do believe the local department of tourism or economic development should have a list of local vendors.

Here in the Phoenix Metro Area, our "urban" Navajo families do have opportunities to take Navajo language and culture classes at our local Phoenix Indian Center (http://www.phxindcenter.org/) but I think they had a fire recently and the building was close for awhile. Non-natives are invited to attend classes as well. Some of the are community colleges as well as state universities also have native language and culture class on their class schedules.

I do believe people are not aware of the resources that are available to them, here's my attempt to pass along the information.

I agree about the casino biz. Probably sounded like "easy $$$" but what a mistake. And I like the idea too about spiritual vacations, classes, etc., to "non-natives"? Would that fly with the elders, etc? If they feel their culture is already being watered down into a retail experience of "buy a cute kachina doll", would they really want that too????

I am white and grew up on the Navajo Reservation, not far from where the show was filmed.

The lure of casinos is tragic, but other solutions are just not as easy as they would seem
The notion of the Navajo people selling their culture leaves a bad taste in the mouths of most people there. It would cheapen and harm the very soul of the people. It has been done, and the result is the kitchy tourist junk that Murdock shows in the beginning of the episode. Its nice to think that the people could keep it "pure and real", but frankly, that is not what sells. Most of the tourist traps selling bobble-head "indian chief" dolls are run by some of the more fiscally successful Navajos.

I have not watched the show, because i do not have cable. However, the blogs on this episode make me wish i did. As a Native American who grew up on and off the reservation I feel that casinos will not help our situation. If you were to visit every other reservation in the country and take a survey of who frequents the casinos, how it has made an impact on the economics of the reservation and how it has changed or effected the traditions of the tribal members. I think that it would be substantial evidence that casinos are not the answer. It makes me wonder.

I feel that our tribe, The Navajo Nation should seek alternative ways to produce revenue and tourism. Why are we not farming wind and solar energy? Everyone who lives on the reservation knows they are abundant untapped sources of these specific types of energy. What about real estate in other places other than the four corners? Such as resorts in Florida or California. Places that would be a definate tourist spot. Or if we really want a casino, build one in Las Vegas. I understand that that will cost tons of money, but their really could be a coalition of Native American tribes that could unite and build a major casino in Vegas.

In these circumstances we need to think out of the box.
