The other day, I went out to Window Rock, Az to help my good friend Jason teach a CPR/first aid class. For those of you who don't know where Window Rock is, it's way out in the middle of the Navajo Nation, almost on the New Mexico Border.
We went there to teach the school bus drivers how to save lives with CPR and first aid. I found the Navajo cultural view of the dead (a big taboo) to be an interesting consideration when teaching CPR. The class was alot of fun and the students were awesome. I am getting pretty excited to teach my next class, coming up this week, at the Flagstaff hospital.
I've often wondered why death is "off limits" with the Navajo.
