Very fascinating, I had seen photos of the types of structures you are showing us, but thought they were 20th century. I didn't realize that it was an older tradition. Wonderfully informative post and even more interesting with the photos.

In the photo they are shown attached, but usually I've seen the hogans separate from the mobile homes, but nearby, all the buildings kind of scattered near each other in a family camp. But yes, while community is important in Navajo culture, private space is too, so each nuclear family traditionally had their own hogan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-39759002020211049912020-01-06T11:13:33.408-05:002020-01-06T11:13:33.408-05:00I've never heard of a hogan.

I would have thought there would be a central spot for one that served many families.Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
