The history of Window Rock

Window Rock, known in Navajo as Tségháhoodzání (pronounced [tsʰéɰáhòːtsání]), is a city and census-designated place that serves as the capital of the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American tribe by both land and tribal enrollment. We’re gathering its old postcards, photos and papers from public archives right now.
