This cultural center houses a good little museum of Native American art on the 2nd floor, including excellent collections of kachina dolls both new and old, plus pottery, sand painting and weaving. A 10ft-tall bronze sculpture of a Navajo code-talker honors the sacrifices made by Navajo men in WWII. A tiny theater screens films about Chaco and the Four Corners region.
