Native American Cultural
Philosophy


The Navajo Culture promotes a philosophy
“Hozhoogo Nashaa Dooleel”. The meaning
translates to “May I walk in beauty, harmony and
balance with my surroundings”, and is a
philosophy aligned with the core principles of
Sustainable Design.
The cultural philosophies of many Native Peoples
and the core principles of Sustainability
reemphasize a foundation that has been there all
along. This just needs to be underscored by our
planning and development.
