The Dine' (or Navajo) People are a unique group of American Indians still living the traditional way of life throughout the four corners region of the Southwestern United States. A Navajo man once said of his people's oral histories, "If my children hear the stories, they will grow up to be good people." The Navajo still keep their traditions and ways of living intact with many oral stories passed down to the younger generation through the Dine' language, which is widely spoken and known by most Navajo. The Navajo people have returned to their original name given to them by their holy people, the Dine', which is pronounced di-nay-h. |
