Module Two Question 1
Describe one of the beliefs and values of the Navajo as illustrated in your readings.
The Navajo people have a legally sanctioned Peacemakers court. They believe that "talking
things over is the way to straighten out troubles." Their people come together to discuss a
problem and forge a solution to the problem. They believe that understanding a person's
motivations or explanations for their behaviors is necessary to help solve the problem.
Module Two Question 2
Describe one way in which the Navajo have incorporated their beliefs and values into
the societal structure on the reservation since regaining some autonomy in the 1970's.
One way the Navajo people have integrated their beliefs and values into their societal
framework, notably is through their approach to medicine. While their healers incorporate
modern medical techniques, they also respect and employ traditional methods when patients
request them. In certain healthcare facilities, there are specific spaces or entire buildings
designated for traditional healing practices, showcasing the Navajo's commitment to
preserving their cultural heritage in healthcare.
Module Two Question 3
What beliefs and values can be found in your culture? How do these beliefs and values
influence your day-to-day life?
The significance of family and friends holds a central place in my beliefs. I firmly advocate

Additionally, having supportive family and friends provides me with a valuable outlet to
share the stresses of my day, enabling me to maintain a balanced perspective on life's
challenges.
