Over the course of a year, these young ladies have experienced cultural teachings from Native Elders; observed and assisted with the preparations necessary for a Kinaalda’ Ceremony; learned the geology, biology, tribal and pioneer history of the Grand Canyon while hiking along the Bright Angel Trail in Arizona; and dedicated their service by adopting the Navajo Tribal Zoo in Window Rock, Arizona.

Walking In Beauty signifies the teachings of the traditional knowledge of a young adult: one who demonstrates a sense of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual balance is thought to be “in well being,” and is thus prepared to embrace the transition into maturity. Walking In Beauty reflects the positive attitude and behaviors necessary for young women to successfully navigate this unique stage of life.
