    Tips

    November 2, 2024

    Fast food is part of every USA vacation. So we stop at Burger King in Kayenta. The special thing about this fast food restaurant is that it has a small exhibition about the Navajo Nation. There is also a small open-air museum next door.

    Kayenta is a town in the Navajo Nation, the largest Indian reservation in the United States, located mainly in Arizona.

    We grab a cheeseburger and look at photos and articles explaining how 400 locals who spoke fluent Navajo - an incomprehensible language with no written alphabet - volunteered for a secret tactical "code talker" unit during World War II to evade Nazi and Japanese code breakers.


    Anthropologists believe that the Navajo probably arrived in the southwest 800 to 1,000 years ago by crossing the land bridge of the Bering Strait and moving south. The Navajo call themselves Dine', which literally means "the people."
