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.

Inspire Kids. INCOLSA. 1998-2003
Inspire Kids is very colorful, easy to use, kid-friendly site. The
search page offers three step instructions for searching. Users can search
full text or citation. The default search uses keywords to search. I tried
“Navajo” and received 537 matches. You can narrow down your search. I
tried Navajo medicine and received 3 matches and for Navajo schools there
were 6 matches. If you click on the article’s title it takes you to a full
citation and subject links for further research. Select Read and you go
right to the article. You can also use Expert Search to search by keyword,
author word or phrase, title, subject word or phrase, abstract, accession
number, journal word or phrase, ISSN, full text, or by dates. Help page
gives a good explanation of the function of each button and also explains the
Searching Buttons. Inspire Kids is for students in kindergarten through
high school. Teachers, parents, and librarians could use Inspire Kids to
guide/teach research skills and to help children find sources of information
for their research projects. I think once they’ve been taught the skills
needed for using the site even younger children will be able to use the site
independently.

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.
