On Saturday, June 20, Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve welcomes Shawn Price and the Dine’ Tah Navajo Dancers for two special cultural presentations.
11:00am — Visitor Center Auditorium
Join Navajo historian Shawn Price for a 45‑minute presentation exploring the impacts on tribal communities following the opening of America’s Route 66 one hundred years ago, and how the “Mother Road” created a crossroads of commerce for travelers.
6:00pm — Piñon Flats Campground Amphitheater
Enjoy an evening cultural program featuring traditional Navajo (Dine’) dancing and music presented by the Dine’Tah Navajo Dancers. The Navajo Nation is one of 29 tribes and pueblos traditionally associated with Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.
These programs are free, though standard park entrance fees apply. No reservations are required.
