Interview: Miss
Navajo Nation, Karletta Daane‘ Chief
Window Rock/Arizona, 6. August 2001
How come there is a Miss Navajo Nation? And what
is your approach to it?
Miss Navajo Nation was established in 1952 and at that
time it was simply a selection based on which lady would
receive the loudest applause. At little bit down the
line they had a modern Miss Navajo Nation and a traditional
Miss Navajo Nation – so the modern would represent
the american and the traditional the traditional Navajo
way of life. At that time it was very important to have
both representations because we were very isolated from
american culture and most of us were not well educated
and Navajos were barely going out and didn’t talk
english fluetly. So that’s why it was important
to have a modern Miss Navajo Nation at the time.
