“A look back to the 1964 Navajo Nation Fair ❤ The Navajo Nation Fair was initially started in 1937 as an opportunity for our Diné people to unite and gather for a couple of days to socialize, race horses, compare each other’s harvest, have something positive and enjoyable to do rather than just dealing with the Depression, stock reduction, unemployment and having their children hauled off to boarding school. Be proud to be Diné!”, Southern Navajo Nation Fair
