Book excerpt: Brad and Jackson, twelve year old friend, experience dangerous and difficult situations as they try to find their way home, after Brad's father leaves them to take care of a medical emergency. Brad puts his trust in God while Jackson reacts with a nearly unreasonable fear. Follow their trek through the canyon and to the hogan where they make the most amazing discovery--a baby. Find out how this discovery changes Brad's life. Jackson also makes discoveries that are life changing. Sympathize with him when he tries to deal with the family secret he uncovers. Jackson finds Christ's love to help him through this very difficult time. There is something that both boys had wished for and now have. What is it? Millie (Mildred) Kendrick was born at Hillsboro, Ks. and now resides at Bloomfield, IA. She is married and has two grown boys. She and her husband attend the Bloomfield Mennonite Church. She enjoys writing short stories that encourage children to make the right decisions. This book was born out of a concern to provide wholesome reading material for children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Navajo Land, Navajo Culture, Robert S. McPherson presents an intimate history of the Diné, or Navajo people, of southeastern Utah. Moving beyond standard history by incorporating Native voices, the author shows how the Dine's culture and economy have both persisted and changed during the twentieth century. As the dominant white culture increasingly affected their worldview, these Navajos adjusted to change, took what they perceived as beneficial, and shaped or filtered outside influences to preserve traditional values. With guidance from Navajo elders, McPherson describes varied experiences ranging from traditional deer hunting to livestock reduction, from bartering at a trading post to acting in John Ford movies, and from the coming of the automobile to the burgeoning of the tourist industry. Clearly written and richly detailed, this book offers new perspectives on a people who have adapted to new conditions while shaping their own destiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Nation Within, Ezra Rosser explores the connection between land-use patterns and development in the Navajo Nation. Roughly the size of Ireland or West Virginia, the Navajo reservation has seen successive waves of natural resource-based development over the last century: grazing and over-grazing, oil and gas, uranium, and coal; yet Navajos continue to suffer from high levels of unemployment and poverty. Rosser shows the connection between the exploitation of these resources and the growth of the tribal government before turning to contemporary land use and development challenges. He argues that, in addition to the political challenges associated with any significant change, external pressures and internal corruption have made it difficult for the tribe to implement land reforms that could help provide space for economic development that would benefit the Navajo Nation and Navajo tribal members.

This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diné identity in the twenty-first century is distinctive and personal. It is a mixture of traditions, customs, values, behaviors, technologies, worldviews, languages, and lifeways. It is a holistic experience. Diné identity is analogous to Diné weaving: like weaving, Diné identity intertwines all of life’s elements together. In this important new book, Lloyd L. Lee, a citizen of the Navajo Nation and an associate professor of Native American studies, takes up and provides insight on the most essential of human questions: who are we? Finding value and meaning in the Diné way of life has always been a hallmark of Diné studies. Lee’s Diné-centric approach to identity gives the reader a deep appreciation for the Diné way of life. Lee incorporates Diné baa hane’ (Navajo history), Sa’a? ́h Naagháí Bik’eh Hózho? ́o? ́n (harmony), Diné Bizaad (language), K’é (relations), K’éí (clanship), and Níhi Kéyah (land) to address the melding of past, present, and future that are the hallmarks of the Diné way of life. This study, informed by personal experience, offers an inclusive view of identity that is encompassing of cultural and historical diversity. To illustrate this, Lee shares a spectrum of Diné insights on what it means to be human. Diné Identity in a Twenty-First-Century World opens a productive conversation on the complexity of understanding and the richness of current Diné identities.
