Salt Diné

    Article

    The Navajo (Diné) tribe is comprised of more than forty family lineages--or clans--that claim common ancestry. According to traditional lore, the Áshįįhi, or Salt People, was formed after a young girl from a different tribe was captured at a place called Salt Extends Out.
