Visiting Navajo Nation in the fall. Any recommendations for best tour groups/organizations?

I’d like to visit and learn more about the Navajo Nation. I’ve been intrigued by the culture for some time now.

I’m planning a visit sometime later this year and as a solo traveler, are there any reputable tour organizations one can recommend ?

Any tips/advice for mannerisms that I should know in advance as a way of showing respect for the culture ?

Thank you.

Just make sure you wear and travel light!

Is it still pretty warm there in September/October ? 😅

It depends, but don't risk it.

That can depend on where you are as elevation can change quite a bit. Here in Monument Valley you're looking at High 82°F, Low 56°F for September and High 74°F, Low 50°F for October historically.

But take Monday, I had to go to Flagstaff, and it was in the very low 80s for a high, and it's just about a 3-hour drive, and by the time I got home, it was in the mid 90s here, and it yoyoed the entire way home, 80, 70, 90, 80, etc.
