With sincere appreciation we thank all the
contributors that make this program possible.
Celebrating 20 Years!



Navajo Santa strives to enhance the lives of indigenous peoples. We acknowledge and support the strengths and the needs of the Navajo people in and around the Utah strip communities through the spirit of giving while fostering trust and respect between cultures.

We provide this support with three annual programs:

NAVAJO SANTA FAMILY DELIVERY

A delivery of gifts to families in need across the Utah strip. Traditionally this program has always been held the first weekend of each December.

NAVAJO SANTA GIVEAWAY
The Navajo community gathers for a give-away of food, warm clothing, tools, toys and to enjoy a traditional Navajo dinner. This general gathering is held the same weekend of our Family Delivery in early December.

NAVAJO SANTA GOES TO SCHOOL
Each year an elementary school is identified to provide students with warm coats, back to school items, eye examinations, dental hygiene kits and dental education.

We are very fortunate to have many dear supporters without whose generousity we could not have made these many years of Christmas giving possible—thank you!

TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL NAVAJO SANTA VISIT TO THE RESERVATION
December 22, 2009

WHITE ROCKS, UT. — For 21 years Navajo Santa has been visiting the Utah Strip portion of the Navajo Reservation with holiday relief for those families without at Christmas time. As in past years Navajo Santa, led by Board Chair Kenneth Maryboy and President Marianne Felt, organized the Navajo Santa Giveaway at the community of White Rocks just south of Bluff, Utah on the Navajo Indian Reservation. For those hardy families braving the very cold temperatures, Navajo Santa provided food boxes, sacks of flour, hygiene kits, shovels, warm clothing, toys, household items and other necessities to an estimated 500 families.

A visit from Santa Claus is always a staple as well as an art table to entertain children, door prizes, contests of skill and a traditional Navajo meal served with plenty of hot choclate and coffee.

"The Navajo Santa board has always enjoyed this visit as much as anyone" said long-time board member Ann Johnson, "to see our year-long work payoff in relief for so many families is a real blessing."
