Diné Bizaad (Navajo language) has become an endangered language and many contemporary Diné are to a large extend not familiar any more with some of the aspects of their traditional culture, recorded in this publication. This book is a great resource not only to the general reader, or student and scholar of Navajo culture, but also for Navajo parents who want to pass on traditional teachings to their children to ensure the longevity of the culture of their ancestors. Native Child Dinétah is reprinting and creating new editions of historical writings to help preserve and continue Navajo culture, language, and history.
