The student research projects focused on major attributes of life and culture on the Navajo Nation, including: governance, demographics, justice, education, healthcare, tourism, economics, workforce, and Navajo customs, relationships and taboos.

After the presentations, and at the end of the ITV class period, the students grabbed their camping gear and some luggage and helped load the van. Professor Tom Grier and program consultant Chops Hancock finished loading the gear and rearranging it in the van so they could actually see while driving, and began the long trek across the country, expecting to meet the students in Albuquerque, New Mexico, this weekend.

The van was packed almost to the ceiling.

While driving across the country, Grier likes to take the backroads and take photos of county courthouses. He spends a few minutes in each county seat town, finds the courthouse, takes images from different angles, and moves on. He posts the images to Google Earth. To date, Grier has more than a thousand images on Google Earth, which have received more than 1.4 million views.
