I am a Navajo boy. Dine 'ashkii nishli. A Navajo boy describes his
family's traditional way of life in the nineteen-forties of last
century. It centers around a pastoral life with sheep and the
processing of the wool by his mother and sisters. His father builds
a traditional Navajo home, a hoghan, out of logs, and he takes part
in a cleansing ritual in the sweat lodge. Beautifully illustrated
by a Native Navajo artist, Gerald Nailor, the book reminds us of a
slower, healthier way of life, almost all but gone now. It's a joy
to look at and read with your children, yet is also perfect for a
classroom environment, be it a monolingual English or bilingual
Navajo/English setting. Originally published in 1940 as a black and
white edition by the educational division of the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, Native Child Dinetah has colorized the illustrations to
make it attractive again to a new generation of readers."
