Navajo Nation Zoological and Botanical Park : ウィキペディア英語版 | Navajo Nation Zoological and Botanical Park
The Navajo Nation Zoological and Botanical Park is located in Window Rock, Arizona, the capital of the Navajo Nation. It is the only tribally owned zoological park in the United States〔(Navajo Nation Zoo. “A Sanctuary for Nature and the Spirit” ). discovernavajo.com. Accessed 2010-05-15.〕〔 and is notable among zoological facilities in that it labels its exhibits in a Native American Indian language.〔(Tribal Trails. Navajo Zoo Newsletter ). Spring 2009. Accessed 2010-05-15.〕 Having been operated by the Navajo Nation Parks & Recreation Department since its inception in the early 1960s,〔 it became part of the Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife in September 2006.〔(website of the Navajo Nation Zoological and Botanical Park ). Accessed 2010-05-14.〕 While its facilities have the unique mission of preserving and caring for the fauna and flora significant to Navajo culture, its existence has also sparked controversy among the more traditionalist elements in Navajo society. ==History==
The zoo's first specimen was a bear that had been left behind after the 1963 Navajo Nation Fair by a state organization,〔 and the animal was named "Yogi the Bear," after the then-popular cartoon character. Since then, the exhibit has grown to about 50〔 different species on display, almost all of them native to the area. In 1976, the zoo, then named "Navajo Tribal Zoo," relocated to its current home and became part of the Navajo Tribal Parks & Recreation system. In September 2006, it was reorganized to be administered by the Navajo Nation Department of Fish and Wildlife.〔
