My Three Days in the Navajo Nation I recently had the extraordinary opportunity to teach a few business etiquette workshops at  Dine'College  in Arizona, which is deep in the heart of the Navajo Nation. Upon hearing about my workshops -- and where -- many contributed their impressions of what type of people the Navajo would be.
