An Intimate Glimpse into Navajo Culture 

Will Tsosie, a Navajo storyteller and Tribal Archaeologist for the Navajo Nation, visited Washington College on Monday, October 12 to perform the “Blessingway,” a series of song-prayers performed to promote health, well-being, harmony, and success. Aaron Lampman, Chair of the Anthropology Department at Washington College, described the event as “a rare opportunity to learn first-hand about Navajo language and culture and to experience the chants that are central to maintenance of community well-being for the Navajo Nation.” This event is sponsored by the Anthropology Department, Phi Beta Kappa, the Douglass Cater Society of Junior Fellows, Lambda Alpha, the Ethnomusicology Minor, and the Anthropology Club.
