Let's go "out West", and listen to the People Talk.

Let's read some of their literature. This links to some very informative pages regarding the Diné (Navajo People) ways, ceremonials traditions and origins tales. It's the story of a trip around Dinétah, the Navajo Country. Also, please see Hosteen Gorman's most excellent Navajo Pages. I don't think you could ask for a better introduction to the people, culture, lands, history and future. Sadly, I cannot find Hosteen Gorman's current page - but he is well respected as an artist and a warrior. Please see the results of this Altavista Search for +"navajo" "gorman". His art is very popular, and many people have set up tribute pages for him and for his works. Here is a beautiful example.

Another excellent academic page on the Navajo is here. It's a Master's Degree thesis presentation.

Marie S. Teasyatwho and her Navajo Weaving.

Education -

Go to the Diné College (Navajo Community College). This is probably your best source for information on the Diné community. It appears to be shaping up as the focus of their internet presence. If you're interested in the language, the way of life, especially regarding the language preservation project, this is the place to look. The Diné College is the US' first tribally-controlled community college.

Tseyi Heritage Cultural Center.
