The last few decades have given rise to an electrifying movement of
Native American activism, scholarship, and creative work
challenging five hundred years of U.S. colonization of Native
lands. Indigenous communities are envisioning and building their
nations and are making decolonial strides toward regaining power
from colonial forces.The Navajo Nation is among the many Native
nations in the United States pushing back. In this new book, Dine
author Lloyd L. Lee asks fellow Navajo scholars, writers, and
community members to envision sovereignty for the Navajo Nation. He
asks, (1) what is Navajo sovereignty, (2) how do various Navajo
institutions exercise sovereignty, (3) what challenges does Navajo
sovereignty face in the coming generations, and (4) how did
individual Dine envision sovereignty? Contributors expand from the
questions Lee lays before them to touch on how Navajo sovereignty
is understood in Western law, how various institutions of the
Navajo Nation exercise sovereignty, what challenges it faces in
coming generations, and how individual Dine envision power,
authority, and autonomy for the people. A companion to Dine
Perspectives: Revitalizing and Reclaiming Navajo Thought, each
chapter offers the contributors' individual perspectives. The book,
which is organized into four parts, discusses Western law's view of
Dine sovereignty, research, activism, creativity, and community,
and Navajo sovereignty in traditional education. Above all, Lee and
the contributing scholars and community members call for the
rethinking of Navajo sovereignty in a way more rooted in Navajo
beliefs, culture, and values. Contributors: Raymond D. Austin,
Bidtah N. Becker, Manley A. Begay, Jr,Avery Denny, Larry W.
Emerson, Colleen Gorman, Michelle L. Hale, Michael Lerma, Leola
Tsinnajinnie.
