Why? Read the text again and answer the questions. What is the summer like on the reservation? Why do young people leave the reservation? How do families on the reservation make money? How often is the Navajo Nation Fair? What can you see there? Which traditional ceremony is different today? What does Joe think about people in the city? Nouawna Talking about you Are there tourist attractions in your home town or a town near you? Think about famous places, traditional food and crafts, special fairs or markets. Joe says that city people are unfriendly. Do you agree? Why? Why not? THE NAVAJO are the largest Native American tribe in North America. One hundred and seventy-five thousand Navajo live on a large reservation* in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. In the summer the reservation is very, very hot. In the past, families worked on the land, but today many young people go to towns because they can't find jobs on the reservation. In town its easy to find work, and there are more schools and shops, too. However, some families prefer to stay on the reservation. They can make money from mining and tourism, The annual Navajo Nation Fair is a big event on the reservation. It takes place in Arizona and attracts a lot of tourists. At the fair you can see professional rodeos, a powwow, Navajo song and dance contests and a wild horse race, You can also buy Native American jewellery and rugs, and eat traditional food. The powwow is probably the most important event. Originally itwas a meeting to prepare for war, but now it is a chance to see old friends and to make new ones. Although life is changing on the reservation, the fair reminds young people of Navajo traditions. And not all young people want to leave Navajoland. Fifteen-year-old Joe Chee is a Navajo Indian and he lives with his family in a traditional Navajo home on the reservation. Joe can make sand paintings ~ they're lucky for new homes. He can also ride @ horse and speak two languages. When Joe Chee goes to the city, he misses the forests, the lakes, and the friendly people. “When | leave the reservation | feel sad,” he says. “People in the city are unfriendly. They can't see the life around them. They don’t understand nature, but the Navajo do.” + reservation = an ares of land for Native Americans can | can’t (ability) ‘1 Read the text again and find three things Joe can do. 2 Look at the table.
