Subject matter ranges from Chaco Canyon’s great kivas and prehistoric art to Madison Avenue’s logos. "Though the site was primarily designed for students and teachers between 4th and 12th Grades, the methodology was originally developed as an archaeological tool," says author Christopher Hardaker. Hardaker is an adjunct professor Dine' College, the Navajo Tribe's institute of higher learning at Tsaile', Arizona.

We have had numerous requests for this by schools presenting multi-cultural programs. It uses the full Navajo language alphabet with diacritical marks for correct pronumciation. -
The Navaho Treaty of 1868
This Treaty, negotiated at the end of the Navajo's four year confinement in the bottomlands of the Pecos River at Ft. Sumner, New Mexico is the basis for today's Navajo Land. The treaty is uneven in it application of justice, beginning with the first article where it refers the prosecution of "bad men" to Washington, but has complaints against the Dineh handled by the Indian Agent. Neither the Navajos or the Goverment negotiators could speak directly with each other; they negotiated through a Mexican who also spoke both Navajo and English. Perhaps the most bitterness arose from a section requiring Navajo children to attend school. From documented accounts passed down through time in Navajo families, the explanation given the Navajo was that they were being required to "give up the education of their children to the white man. Navajo people lamented this for years and it may still for the basis for refering to schools today as "the White Man's school".NOTE:Harrison Lapahie's site has also become well known for his resources on Navajo genealogy.

Navajo Nation Flag
Surrounded by a guardian rainbow, the image of Navajoland is bounded by the four sacred mountains that define the area. The seal is in the center contains symbols for resources and livelihood cradled in corn stalks. The original reservation boundries defined in 1863 appears in dark brown, divided by the Arizona - New Mexico border than trends north-south. The area in tan was added to enlarge the reservation in a series of acts that followed and represents the Nation as it is today.
- Official Navajo Nation Website Index
- Good Source of Navajo Information, Information on government and current
affairs.
They have been having some problems with ISP's and servers, so they have not been consistantly on line.
- Apparrently prepared to go hand in glove with the 2002 Winter Olympics,
this site is extremely well done in my opinion and has much to offer that is
both informative and fun.
In addition to the expected, a Clan Relation Computer from NavajoPage.com, will identify how others are related to you and if, in traditional manner, they might be someone socially acceptable to date! You enter your and their four clans, your genders and relative ages. This is definately something not familar to Non-Dineh!
It is a good promotion of who the Dine' are today and the land comprising their Nation. Hope it can continue on the web!
This site contains seemingly endless information, but unfortunately the writers did not document where much of it originated!
If you can't find the information you are seeking somewhere else, you may find it here. After looking at some of the web page source code, I was able to confirm that this site was originally published by the Gallup McKinley County Schools.(They did not change some references when they brought it over) It vanished from the Gallup Schools servers, but has now reappeared here.
The writers definitely were targeting quantity not quality and many pages are just typed text. Let's hope the new owers can work on this.
This is extensive and there is very little you will need to go elsewhere to get.
