The screening of Billy Luther's Miss Navajo this weekend on the Navajo Nation – in honor of Friday's Miss Navajo Nation Appreciation Day – inspired the former title holders (Miss Navajo Nation Council Inc) to organize a workshop for "aspiring" young women and girls. The Want to Be Miss Navajo? workshop being held July 28 from 9AM to 3PM in Window Rock, Arizona, is open to all Navajo girls interested in preparing to compete one day for Miss Navajo Nation, and will be hosted by onetime Miss Navajo Nations. Classes will be in all things Navajo, from crafts and etiquette to goal-setting, entertainment, language, writing, history, and government. No word on whether butchering sheep will be included in the free workshop. (Upcoming Miss Navajo screenings after the jump)
