The Navajo Code Talker Museum is an essential resource for the community, with only 30% of the Navajo Nation having access to running water. It generates revenue from tourism and provides a treated water station and healing center for veterans and families of Code Talkers. The museum’s design reflects the natural landscape and tells the stories of the Code Talkers, embodying themes of strength and resilience while honoring their legacy.
