HISTORY
The “Hogback” is a magnificent sandstone rock feature that inspired the name of the Tse Dáá K’áán Chapter. Tse Dáá K’áán, which translates to “rock ground(ed) into the water” in Navajo, refers to the opening made by the San Juan River that splits the hogback. In the agricultural town of Tse Dáá K’áán, farmers cultivate corn, which is utilized in typical traditional dishes such kneel-down bread, steaming corn, and other Indian melons.
