The Navajo

Dine� (The People)

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The following Pathfinder presents resources gathered to help you learn about the Navajo or Dine. The purpose of this pathfinder is to give students, teachers, and other interested individuals a comprehensive list of resources with brief annotations describing each resource.

Electronic materials add to the experience of the child learning about the Navajo. He is able to hear first hand the traditional music and tales of the past, to see the rich scenery, and to learn about the history and ways of this culture. He can learn how the Navajo often blends the traditional ways with the modern.

Although most print materials I chose are for upper elementary aged children, the Websites and other electronic resources would be appropriate for upper elementary and higher. I enjoy reading the traditional folktales of this culture and I am sure that older children and other adults would too.

 

SELECTION
I included a wide variety of items in this pathfinder that cover the early history of the ancestors of the Navajo up to the present day issues facing the Navajo today. I think I offered the researcher an opportunity to get a sense of the rich history of this culture as well as an idea as to how the Navajo live today.

I used the search engine Google to locate Websites. From there I judged their authenticity by reviewing the source and content of the site. Several sites were academic sources; others were government sources. I trusted these to be reliable. A few sites were commercial or sites by native Navajos. I reviewed these before subjectively selecting them. I found most print and CD-ROM materials listed in acceptable selection sources. I also have first hand experience with many of the books and other materials. I chose some resources on the basis of the reputation of the publisher or source.

CONCLUSION

������ The above pathfinder could be used by students in upper elementary school, teachers, and anyone interested in the rich culture of the Navajo.� Teachers could use the resources as part of the Social Studies curriculum, especially those teaching grade five where students study native cultures of the U.S.

These resources would help the teacher meet Indiana�s Academic Standards in Math and Social Studies.� One site that I listed uses Navajo weavings in math activities.� Teachers could work with the concepts of fractions, decimals, and percents using images of Navajo rugs and graph paper.� Social Studies teachers in grade five cover native groups of the U.S. and their locations, history, the impact of the Europeans on their cultures, economics, etc.� One strand, 5.5.5, states that students will be able to �analyze traditional arts, including folktales and narratives that depict the experiences of ethnic, racial, and religious groups in different regions of the U.S.� Resources about folktales, mythology, sand painting, and chants and ceremonies of the Navajo found in this pathfinder would help to meet this standard.� Many fifth grade academic standards could be covered using resources in this pathfinder.
