The State of New Mexico and Navajo Preparatory School invite the public to a free ceremony for the planned Navajo Code Talkers Museum on Tuesday, December 1. Organizers ask guests to confirm attendance by Monday, November 23.

The ceremony begins at 1 p.m. in Eagle’s Nest Gymnasium at Navajo Preparatory School, 1220 West Apache Street in Farmington. Use the attendance form on the Indian Affairs Department’s project page. For event questions, including where to park or enter the gym, the school lists advocacy@navajoprep.com.

The museum is planned on Navajo Nation land at the school. At least 17 future Code Talkers attended the mission school that once occupied the campus, according to the governor’s office. Plans include exhibits on the Diné Marines’ wartime service and an outreach center for language and youth leadership. A public opening date for the exhibits has yet to be announced.
