Navajo is a very old language, yet it only has been written down in recent times. The Native
speaker is confronted with some problems: not only does the language vary from area to area, it
also differs according to the time it was first written down, i.e., old Navajo and new Navajo.
The vocabulary of each unit has been edited by several Native speakers. The following
dictionairies have been consulted for the Diné spelling:
• The Navajo Language, Young and Morgan
• The English-Navajo Children’s Picture Dictionairy, Navajo Community College Press
• Diné Bizaad, Irvy W. Goossen
• Conversational Navajo Dictionary, Garth A. Wilson
• English/Navajo The New Oxford Picture Dictionairy, Marvin Yellowhair
• Saad Ahaah Sinil, Rough Rock Demonstration School
In case of conflicting spellings the revised edition of The Navajo Language by Young and Morgan
has been taken as the overiding reference.
Mission Statement
Designed for children in Diné Schools and Preschools, Native
Child’s goal is to affirm the Navajo child’s culture and identity in
a positive way through a supportive curriculum that builds self
confidence and a sense of belonging.

In the center, Ch’ool’í’í was anchored by the Female Mirage Stone under a streak of falling rain. Here wind would give life to Changing
Woman and White Shell Woman, Asdzáá Nádleehé, and Yoolgai Asdzáá. Here, too, would be born the Hero Twins, Naayéé’ Neizghání
and Tó Bájísh Chíní, conceived through sunlight and water. Dzil Ná’oodilii they held fast with the Male Mirage Stone. Here Na’ashjéii
Asdzáá, Spider Woman, would tell the Twins how to find their father, Jóhonaa’éí the Sun Bearer. From here, the Twins would set off to
kill Yé’iitsoh Tla’ínaagai, the Big Giant, over by Tsoodzil. Here, Born for Water stayed behind to wait for his brother’s call. His brother,
Monster Slayer, would leave to battle more monsters, born of the time when men and women failed to live in harmony. Here as well, in
Dinétah, the two brothers made their home at Tó Aheedlí, where the San Juan and Los Pinos Rivers join. Here would come knowledge of
ceremonies to heal and restore harmony, and here would begin the gathering of the clans which today make up the Navajo people.

Left Handed, Son of Old Man Hat: A Navaho Autobiography
by Left Handed, Luci Tapahonso, and Edward Sapir
With a simplicity as disarming as it is frank, Left Handed tells of his birth in the spring “when the cottonwood leaves were about the size of my
thumbnail,” of family chores such as guarding the sheep near the hogan, and of his sexual awakening. As he grows older, his account turns to life
in the open: nomadic cattle-raising, farming, trading, communal enterprises, tribal dances and ceremonies, lovemaking, and marriage. As Left
Handed grows in understanding and stature, the accumulated wisdom of his people is made known to him. He learns the Navajo life founded
upon principles: the necessity of honesty, foresightedness, self-discipline. The style of the narrative is almost biblical in its rhythms; but biblical,
too, in many respects, is the traditional way of life it recounts.
Tall Woman: The Life Story of Rose Mitchell, a Navajo Woman c. 1874-1977
by Rose Mitchell, Charlotte Johnson Frisbie
Translated from her own words, this story of a Navajo woman who lived for more than 102 years is a vivid account of traditional lifeways in a
harsh and challenging environment. Tall Woman was raised in a family of foragers and herders: “we never lived in one spot for any length of time;
we just roamed about from place to place, and from time to time.” Forbidden to go to school, she learned traditional skills and knowledge from
her elders, growing up to be a well-known weaver and an expert on the uses of traditional plants as food and medicine. She was also in demand
as a midwife. Despite her reputation and that of her husband, Frank Mitchell, a well-known political leader, judge, and Blessingway singer, Tall
Woman lived the unassuming life of a traditional Navajo woman, focusing on the hogan, her twelve children, the sheep and goats, and the farm.
Edited and annotated by a distinguished anthropologist who has worked with the Mitchell family since 1963, this book was written to fulfill Tall
Woman’s desire to share her story not just with her descendants but with others. In addition to her own life history, Tall Woman tells ancestral
stories and offers wise advice to future generations. Both Navajo and non-Navajo readers will be fascinated by the courage and ingenuity evoked
in her account of the People’s survival during a period of immeasurable change.
Frank Mitchell was the subject of another biography by Charlotte J. Frisbie (Navajo Blessingway Singer; University of Arizona Press, 1978).
Together, these two book comprise the first husband-and-wife Native American life histories.
Navajo Blessingway Singer: The Autobiography of Frank Mitchell, 1881–1967
by Charlotte J. Frisbie and David P. McAllester
This life history of a Navajo leader, recorded in the 1960s and first published in 1977, is a classic work in the study of Navajo history and religious
traditions. This book stands easily among the best of the native autobiographies. It has been narrated by a thoughtful and articulate Navajo leader
over a span of eighteen years. A skillful, meticulous, and altogether praiseworthy contribution to Navajo studies. Although the focus of Mitchells
autobiography is upon his role as a Blessingway singer, there is much material here on Navajo history and culture in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. Mitchell attended the government school at Fort Defiance, worked on the railroad in Arizona, served as a handyman and
interpreter at several trading posts and the Franciscan missions, and later served as a tribal councilman in the 1930s and as a judge in the 1940s
and 1950s. His observations on these experiences are relevant to our understanding of contemporary Navajo life.Lawrence C. Kelly, "Western
Historical Quarterly"
Navajo Women: Saanii
by Betty Reid and Kenji Kawano
"I am a child of Changing Woman." That is a line in a Navajo prayer spoken by medicine men on behalf of patients, and in the
old days it was symbolic and spiritual. Today, it is real. Navajo women, once relegated to bearing children, caring for the home, and
raising livestock in a matrilineal society, have transformed themselves into businesswomen, attorneys, truck drivers, pilots, nurses,
artists, presidential candidates, and more. Who is the Navajo woman and what drives her in 2007? Join Navajo writer Betty Reid and
photographer Kenji Kawano on a journey through the cycle of a Navajo woman's life, from east (birth and youth) to south (teenager
and young adult) to west (adult) to north (elder). 50 color & b/w photos.
Reclaiming Diné History: The Legacies of Navajo Chief Manuelito and Juanita
by Jennifer Nez Denetdale
In this groundbreaking book, the first Navajo to earn a doctorate in history seeks to rewrite Navajo history. Reared on the Navajo Nation in New
Mexico and Arizona, Jennifer Nez Denetdale is the great-great-great-granddaughter of a well-known Navajo chief, Manuelito (1816–1894), and
his nearly unknown wife, Juanita (1845–1910). Stimulated in part by seeing photographs of these ancestors, she began to explore her family history as a way of examining broader issues in Navajo historiography. Here she presents a thought-provoking examination of the construction of the
history of the Navajo people (Din©, in the Navajo language) that underlines the dichotomy between Navajo and non-Navajo perspectives on the
Din© past. Reclaiming Din© History has two primary objectives. First, Denetdale interrogates histories that privilege Manuelito and marginalize
Juanita in order to demonstrate some of the ways that writing about the Din© has been biased by non-Navajo views of assimilation and gender.
Second, she reveals how Navajo narratives, including oral histories and stories kept by matrilineal clans, serve as vehicles to convey Navajo beliefs
and values. By scrutinizing stories about Juanita, she both underscores the centrality of women’s roles in Navajo society and illustrates how oral
tradition has been used to organize social units, connect Navajos to the land, and interpret the past. She argues that these same stories, read with
an awareness of Navajo creation narratives, reveal previously unrecognized Navajo perspectives on the past. And she contends that a similarly
culture-sensitive re-viewing of the Din© can lead to the production of a Navajo-centered history.

A little boy is in love with horses. He takes Little Black, his very own pony, on rides all around his family’s property.
However, one day the boy decides to ride Big Red, a horse that can do practically everything – run fast, jump over obstacles, and even swim across rushing rivers!
However, when a ride on Big Red ends in a frightening accident, the boy must rely on Little Black to save him. Is there
one thing Little Black can do that Big Red can’t?

Blackhorse Mitchell, an
accomplished teacher,
famous author of ‘Miracle
Hill”, and practitioner of
traditional healing ceremonies, invites us into
his Hogan on the Navajo
Reservation. Here we learn
the art of making Navajo
pottery in the traditional
way, as it has been handed
down through the generations. From digging the
clay on his ancestral land
to the complex process of
earth–firing the pottery,
every aspect of the craft is
explained patiently step by
step in his native tongue
Navajo. Blackhorse also
explains the meaning and
origins of symbols found
on old pottery artifacts as
well as their application in
modern times.

The Main Stalk
Navajo Indian Myths
A Synthesis of Navajo Philosophy
Aileen O’Bryan
John R. Farella
Item # 711 $ 18.95
John Farella believes that the Navajo
world view has been incorrectly described as simply a system of beliefs,
rather than as a perception of truth.
In The Main Stalk, Farella combines
the classic studies of Gladys Reichard and Berard Haile with recent
interviews with tribal elders, in order
to develop an understanding of the
Navajo paradoxical, non-dualistic,
and realistic concept of the wholeness of life.”
In 1928, Aileen O’Bryan recorded the
narration of Sandoval, Hastin Tlo’tsi hee
(Old Man Buffalo Grass), then “first
chief of the four chiefs of the Navaho
People.” His nephew Sam Ahkeah acted
as interpreter. This book was originally published in 1956 as “The Dine:
Origin Myths of the Navaho Indians,”
by the U.S. Government Printing Office, as Bulletin 163 of the Bureau of
American Ethnology of the Smithsonian
Institution. This transcription is both
authentic and poetic.

The Navajo Creation Story
There are several versions of the Navajo
Creation Story known but Paul Zolbrod has
captured the most plausible and accepted rendition in print. Many Navajos, especially elders
will say that the material printed in this book
used to be reserved for the sweat hooghan
and special times between family members
but understand that now things have changed
and accept the publication of very special and
sensitive aspects of a great peoples’ religion,
as long as it is done under the auspices of the
Navajo Nation. Perhaps in time others will
publish material more to the needs of Navajo
scholars but to this day this book is the literary
standard of the creation stories.

Growing up around Poppin’ Rock Ranch on Palmer Mesa above Saltcreek Canyon in the northern end of the Navajo Reservation in New
Mexico, Blackhorse Mitchell grew up with hardly anybody around on the big family ranch except his companion, the sheep dog, and of
course, a large herd of sheep. This is where some of the songs on this album come from and also from later times, the 70’s,when the song
lyrics talk about people, sweethearts and what some guys and gals do as life goes on. Today, with an extensive education in literacy writing,
classical language and bilingual education and being the first Navajo-Writer with a Bookrelease “Miracle Hill”, that made the New York
Bestseller List, Blackhorse teaches the Navajo language at Shiprock High School in Shiprock, NM.

When the Fourth World is created, the girl who will
be Weaving Woman misses the lessons in leading a

day, Navajo weavers leave a “spirit pathway” in their
blankets, “so the spirit of the weaver will not be

What Does “Died” Mean?
by Marjorie Thomas
Patrick S. Begay (Illustrator)
Born in 1856 at the base of Black Mesa, Dzanibaa saw her happy childhood come to a terrifying end when U.S. soldiers attacked
and forced thousands of Navajo to walk to Fort Sumner, 450 miles from their home. Imprisoned in a land where their crops
wouldn’t grow, the Navajo were reduced to eating bug-infested flour and rotten meat. During those four long years, Dzanibaa
reached puberty, but she vowed to postpone her coming-of-age ceremony until the Navajo returned to their sacred lands. Released
from imprisonment in 1868, the Navajo were finally allowed to return to their homeland. Told in both the Navajo and English
languages, the story is beautifully illustrated in full-color paintings that vividly show the Navajo’s despair and determination during
their days at the fort.
Dzani Yazhi Naazbaa’ / Little Woman Warrior Who
“Grandmother, when will Grandfather return?” Baa Yázhí, a young Navajo girl, misses her grandfather. One day he had gone to the Trading Post, but then he had never come back. Is he still at the
Trading Post? Will he one day come riding up the road? Baa Yázhí is sure that he will, and she
watches the road for him. Grandmother has told Baa Yázhí that Grandfather has died, but Baa
Yázhí does not understand the meaning of death. However, by listening to some simple illustrations from Grandmother, Baa Yázhí slowly comes to understand. By the end of the story, Baa Yázhí
is reconciled to the loss of her grandfather and can even understand what has happened when the
family sheep dog brings home a limp rabbit.

“When I was going to boarding school, the U.S.

Teddy Draper Sr. of Chinle, Arizona, “but during
the war, they wanted us to speak it!” Speaking
their native language--which the Japanese could
not decode--Navajo soldiers were instrumental
in U.S. marine victories in the Pacific during
World War II, relaying vital information between
the front lines and headquarters. Kenji Kawano,
a native Japanese photographer whose black
and white images of surviving “code talkers” are
unusual for their sensitivity, notes with some
irony that these soldiers were his father’s enemies
at one time.

to treat the reader with slices of contemporary Navajo life at the end of
the 20th century. Some of the poems read as stories and the short stories are crafted with the emotional imagery so uniquee to Ford’s writing
style. Although fictionalized, the writings are semi–autobiographical
from the author, or are the stories of others that interrelate to the
dynamic scheme of struggle, love, hurt, joy and life callled Navajoland.
Some of these stories are, quite literally, songs of love.

Joseph Bruchac/Shonto Begay
Item # 562 $ 18.95
Abenaki Joseph Bruchac and Navajo Shonto Begay
combine their talents to tell the tragic story of how,
in the 1860s, U.S. soldiers forced thousands of Navajos to march to a desolate reservation 400 miles
from their homeland in an effort to “civilize” them.
Hundreds died along the way; those who survived
found unspeakable living conditions at their
destination. When word of the Indians’s plight
finally gained public attention, President Andrew
Johnson sent a Peace Commission to investigate.
The resulting treaty allowed the Navajos to return
to their homeland, and ho’zho—harmony—was
restored. The Navajos prospered and have lived in
peace with the U.S. government ever since while
preserving their own proud culture.
A twelve-year-old orphan with faraway friends and
unkind relatives, Ashkii must depend upon himself
for survival. Though Ashkii provides food for his
aunt and cousins, his cruel aunt rewards him for his
work with ridicule and scraps from the hunt. To
survive, Ashkii remembers the stories his grandfather
had told him about the years of hardship at Fort
Sumner. “A small cup of grease soup was all we
were given for food. When the soldiers ate, we had a
chance to repair our shoes, gather ’azhíí: juniper bark
to place inside our moccasins to cushion our feet.
By the time we arrived at Hwééldi, our moccasins
were tattered and in need of repair.” These memories

More of that Song And Dance
Recorded by Laura Boulton
Compiled and annotated by David McAllester and
Charlotte Frisbie
The lifestyles, philosophies, and traditions of
the Navajo nation are represented by songs
for herding, planting, harvesting, hunting,
blessing hogans, and soothing children. The
1933 and 1940 field recordings from settlements in New Mexico and Arizona beautifully
document a music largely vocal and highly
melodic with relatively short song phrases repeated, divided, and combined in intriguingly
complex ways.

The songs on this album contain tidbits of accounts
derived from life as I lived it as a child and adolescent
around the Grand Falls area of the Diné Nation. In the
Native American way of life, a prayer can be chanted,
and thus songs can be construed as prayers. Life is not
complete without a song and prayer in
one’s heart.

These books are only available from Native Child, Inc.
Native Child, Inc. is republishing the first ever written and illustrated bilingual readers. For the first time since the 1940s, these booklets are made available again to the schools in their original bilingual version, illustrated by the leading Navajo artists of the twentieth
century. Some arealso collected and translated by Robert Young and William Morgan. These bilingual picture books are too beautiful
and too historically significant to be forgotten – they describe and illustrate traditional Navajo ways that have been slowly disappearing
in the last 65 years, since they were first printed at Phoenix Indian School.
We have also started to republish the bilingual Navajo Historical Series (originally published by the US Indian Service in the fifties).
They were created with the help of Robert W. Young and William Morgan. The stories given by the Diné people are told in their
own words – just as they told them in Navajo, and then were translated into English. Native Child, Inc. has left the original version
untouched and then expanded it with texts, photos and illustrations that give the student and teacher an even better understanding of
conditions at the time. And best of all, history comes alive and will be a pleasure to study.
All books are printed on demand.
