Diné College exchange student speak

For several years, NCC has had an exchange program with Diné College of the Navajo Nation, Ariz. Students from NCC's Intercultural communications class correspond and hold a student exchange with students from Diné.

In November, exchange students from Diné, including grandchildren of the Navajo Code Talkers who played a key role in Allied communications in the Pacific during World War II, spoke about their grandparents and showed video interviews with some of them.
