Description: Spanning centuries of resilience and reinvention, this sweeping account traces the Diné from their ancestral emergence and homeland in the American Southwest through Spanish colonial encounters, the devastating Long Walk to Bosque Redondo, and the eventual establishment of the Navajo Nation. Along the way, readers explore the twentieth-century transformations that reshaped Navajo life, as well as the enduring power of language, weaving, silverwork, and ceremony. Balancing historical depth with a portrait of the contemporary Navajo Nation, this volume offers an accessible introduction to one of North America's largest and most influential Indigenous peoples. A thoughtful starting point for anyone seeking to understand the Diné story on its own terms.
