Window Rock Monument and Navajo Veteran's Memorial Park

The small park near the Navajo Nation Administration Center features the graceful arch for which the capital is named. The Navajo Nation headquarters and other government offices were built in close proximity to this mystical rock formation. More recently, the Navajos have built a Veteran's Memorial at the base of Window Rock to honor the many Navajos who served in the U.S. military. Many Navajo soldiers areare recognized in the annals of history for their role as code talkers, whereby they used the native Navajo language to to create a code that was never broken by the enemy. Historians credit the Navajo Code Talkers for helping win World War II.

The park also has many symbolic structures: a circular path outlining the four cadinal directions, 16 angled steel pillars with the names of war veterans, and a healing sanctuary that is used for reflection and solitude that features a fountain made of sandstone.
