Donovan Pete is the #NavajoNationLibrary’s community library manager. He oversees the daily and administration operation of this tribal library located in #WindowRock and two other community libraries located in #Kayenta and #Torreon.

The WR library has a really fascinating Special Collections that holds past editions of #NavajoTimes, recorded/transcribed oral history recorded in the 1970’s about the Long Walk, and more.

He hopes to get funding to replace computers.

Today's #PhotoOfTheDay takes us to the Navajo Nation and Tségháhoodzání (Window Rock).

According to wikipedia Tségháhoodzání is important in the traditional Navajo Water Way Ceremony (Tóee). It was one of the four places where Navajo medicine men go with their traditional woven water jugs to get water for the ceremony that is held to pray for an abundance of rainfall.

For 10 years, I’ve covered the #NavajoNation government. This is me recently in front of the Navajo Nation Council Chamber in #WindowRock, #arizona. I spent hours in there covering our tribal legislatures. Right now, I’m suppose to be reporting on all 22 Arizona #indigenous tribes, but I feel my focus continues on Navajo. If you have any tips you can email me at ABecenti@gannett.com.
