Since the Navajo territory is located in the deserts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, the Navajo Nation and its supporter, Navajo France Association, became members of the World Desert Foundation after their cultural participation in the second festival of the Meeting of Deserts People of the World, in Dubai, United Arab of Emirates in April 2005.

Through the international elaboration of a Charter, approved by Unesco, one of the exchange's role is to recognize and support actions which concern protection of culture and environment, exclusively for World Deserts People. Upon membership of the foundation, the preservation of cultural traditions and values of the Navajo Nation was included.

Therefore, to sustain the Diné, it is relevant to protect and maintain the Diné culture through direct exposure and interaction with the world. Through the discovery by the world, the traditions, values, and environments associated with the Diné Nation will be exalted and preserved. This exposure and interaction will be pursued in a respectful and compatible measure.

All around the world, the Native Americans became an old legend. The words, "Indian", "American Indian", "Native American", are synonymic of disappearance, suffering, famine, and disparage. Not only was a legend left, but filmmakers for decades have stereotyped Native Americans, resulting in disrespect, ignorance, and arrogance. Through these attempts of exposure of Native Americans, the world has become convinced by these illusions and misinterpretations, therefore granting false perceptions.

The world needs to experience and support this cultural wealth of the Diné People. One of the missions of the Navajo France Association is to have the world discover the humanity, life, wealth, development, progress, and solidarity of the Diné People.

Born in France, Navajo France Association (A.N.F.) is a non-governmental, cultural, and artistic independent association and its priority mission is to introduce and make the Navajo Culture familiar to the large public.

The A.N.F. is notably supported by members and friends from different countries who have very prestigious personalities of culture, media, and politics.

During the next two months, A.N.F. will create various programs to support and secure the development of the Preservation of the Diné Universe Through Artistic Journey on the Diné Reservation. Listed are the proposed programs:
1) Website creation between Navajo and French Students,
2) Implementation of an artistic journey in Navajoland.

In agreement with the Diné People, this objective of the project is to:
1) Develop an economic and social sustainable tourism program,
2) Make Familiar the Navajo Culture and its reality,
3) Educate the public and expose the universal values shared by the Diné Nation and the rest of the world.
Also included with the Diné collaboration will be artistic tourist journeys supervised by A.N.F., spanning across an average period of ten (10) days. During this period, a group of 8 to 10 persons will discover the Diné Culture through visitations of schools, governmental exposure of meetings and special arrangements, visitations of museums of historic prestige, geographic sites, art and craft shows, conferences, and fairs or festivals.
