Fifty or more years ago, CathoUc and l}rotestant missionaries began to develop Navajo alphabets--each being different. In 1933, the Commissioner of Indian Affairs commissioned linguists at Columbia and Yale Universltttes to develop simple alphabets \VUft· h to write Navajo. Being linguists, they naturally produced alphabets designed to give an accurate system of wrtttng down the sound~. of Navajo speech, and especially adapted to the needs of the comparative linguist. What the Indian Bureau was seeking was an alphabet adapted, .in a wholly practical sense, to the needs of those who spoke the language habitually. The requirements are quite different. Dr. John Harrington, Mr.· Oliver LaFarge and Mr. Robert VI. Young collaborated in worldng out such a simplified alphabet, using the conventional Roman letters found on the modern English writer keyboard, and those diacrtttcals needed to distinguish -tonal features and nasalization of vowels. This new alphabet was introduced to the Reservation tn 1940, In 1946 the American Eible ~ocietys whtch prints the Bible tn man}' languages, adopted the Barrtngton-L~Fal'ge alphabet and began the printing of rellglous material in that alphabet. Most other Protestant missionaries are also using this new orthography~ · · · The present Indian education program ts aimed primarily at those individuals who are sttll not too old for school, or for whom school f•ctlities can be prc,vlded. There are still thousands of adult Navajo who cannot speak English. This last group furnished a large field for. Navajo language work •. In our modern world raptd, accurate exchange of information ts of vital importance. At one time. the Navajo could exist as a nation wtthtn our nation speaking only their own language and shut off from outside infiuences. Today all of the Navajo people need · inf orrnatton and a system of accurate intercommunication in keeping .-ttlf ttae··tt.mes~ The "grapevine" system is inadequate, especially where vttal tnformatton. ts complex tn nature, Jlnd even more so when much of that information is conneeted wtth a way of life th0y do not understand. · Only a written language can meet the requirements. For those who go to school Engli$h alone may meet the tr needs in. this respect. For thoee who do not go long enough to school, or who do not go to sc~ool at all, only written Navajo can ftll the comrnuntcatton needs~· · · ,.1,. • Those who learn to read Navajo have a tool for cQmmuntcatlon with other Navajo-speaking people, as Well as ~ medium through which to acquire urgently needed information correctly. Written Navajo cannot possibly compete as a subst~tute .for _written English. but the abtUty to read and write Navajo l.s-lnUntt.ely better t'-n tn~bUtty to read ln any . language and tt can be taught to wholly tlltterate Indians in a very short time. To meet the needs of t .. t large percentage of Navajo people whose knowledge of_ ·EngUsh t~ Inadequate or entirely lacking,. the Branch of Educatt9n of the Indian Bureau ls teaching older Navajos to read their own language and ts publishing a monthly newspaper prlnte4 In Navajo and English, as well as _other Informational material of Importance, It ls the objective to write· the English on about a 4th grade level as some, Navajo have learned some .Englls.h but not enougb to read the regular newspaper. In addition, not only ts -inf or matt on provided ln Navajo, but also the Navajo language ts made available as a tool for learning English. Tbe use· of Navajo· as a tool has been ,rr ectt.vely de~onstrated by cer:t,ain tndividual Navajos such as Roger Deal and others. · . . · Sometime ·ago a young Navajo came ·tnto the ofUce to subscribe to AdahoonfHgU. He said that in the past he had thought the Navajo language program worthless, However, that weeke~d he had been to his father's hogan far in theinterior. The young_ people were discussing the age of President Eisenhower. Cne said this and another that, but the elderly father said emphatically a certain figure. rrhe children satd, "Howdo you know, since you have no way oi learning? You cannot read, and never go anywhere. " The father .sa-ld, "i can read Navajo. n He got his paper and read to the group the article, "Meet the New Prestdent", ln wbtch the Fre~ldent's age was given. In addttton, many Navajo people take pride tn .gaining the ability to read and write their native language which ts surely an important heritage. Tilus, the rituals, customs, and heart-be.at of a people wtU not be lost but will be recorded f pr future use • -2- THE NAVAJO ALPHABET The following information in regard to tho Navajo alphabet and its use should prove helpful to one familiar with the English language. VOWELS: The vowels have continental vnluos. They are as fol~ows, tho first example .~eing a Navajo word., the scccnd tho closest appr codmatd.on to foe sound in the ~nglish word: .. a gad (juniper) father i sis (bolt) sit .. ·.; e •c1ctaah (wost) met 0 hosh {cactus) note -- - Vowels may be either long or short in duration., the long vowel being indicatcq. l:?Y a doubling of tho lotto~This novor nffccts the quality of th<:; vowel, except ; ~hat long! is always pronounced as in t,hQ ~English word pique. sis: (bolt) the vowel is short. biz~~s. (his, her wart) 1ishi,ih (salt) siziiz (my bolt) tho vowel is long. Vowels with a hook (,J beneath tho lett~rs arc nasalized. It means that some or the breath passes through the nose when you say them. Aftur n, all vowols '; arc riasalizod and arc not marked. tsina:.ibg.Q.s (wagon) biih (deer) When there is a little mark above t,ho letter, then your voice goes up on that sound. Say tho first word, and then the second of those we give here as cxrunples. ni (you) 1azcc1 (mcdicino) nil:f. (ho is) doo (not) DIPHTHONGS: The diphthongs arc as follows: - ai hai (winter) aai sh!nua! (my elder brother) ao daoly6 (they are called) ni (he says) 1az~c1 (mouth) n!l! (you are) do6 (and) ci 1ci (that one) cii 15daat16ii (that which arc) oi dccsdoi (it is warm, weather) aoo • aoo! (yes) ooi Ts6hootsoo! (Ft. Defiance, Ariz.) When only the first element of a long vowel or diphthong has a ma1"k above it the tone ~s fa,lling from high, and if the last element is marked the tone is rising from le~·-~ Wli.en a vowel or diphthong is unmarked the tone is .low. CONSONANTS: (•) .. this is the most comm.on consonantal sotmd in Navajo1 called~ glottal stop., It sounds like the hiatus between the twq elements of the English exclamations oh oh1 and hunh unh. or in actual speech, the difference between Johnnie yearnSarui Johnnieearns~ is that the latter has glottal closure between · the two wora.s.

They appear to have moved westward ' onto the desert when they acquired horses about the time of the Pueblo rebellion in 1680. The Navajos intermarried with ·the Puebl()s and probably learned weaving and agricult\ll'e from them. They became ,shepherds when they took.•possession of the sheep. (originally obtained from Spain through Mexico) abandoned by the Pueblos, who fled their homes at the time of the rebellion. For many years the Navajos lived by sheep and small patches of corn and .-mall orchards which they planted in the f ,w valleys of the area where they roamed. When the}' were hungry they stole more sheep arid stole more corn from the Pueblos, and sometirneS f i'om ttie n~•Indians. They also stole horses from the non-Indians,. -38-- ,lhi! ,,. ' : To1 stop their depredations, the United States Army moved against , the Navajos in 1863-64 and finally, under the leadership of Kit Carson, secured their .surrender after destroying thetr Oftelds, their orchards and · their livestock. When they got hungry enough many of them surrendered and were taken to Bosque Redondo (Fort Sumner) in Ne\VIMextco. They were kept 1 there four years. Finally, in 1868,' the leaders s.i '. d a peace treaty witi! the Untted States"' The Indians agreed to stay wtthbt certain geographic areas and riot to molest Pue~loq and non-Indtans, The United States promised in return to provide certain educational an~ economic atds, which were specified in th.e treaty. . · . . . . . l~!1• • , , The Navajos were then marched back to their country, near, wbat is now Fort Wingate, New Mextco, and a little later to .. Fort Defiance, Arizona. - There_ they were given a total of 30, 000 sheep and 4, 000 goats, and were allowed to return t~ a portion of .the country .tllat had been their home • . When the Navajo people returned from Fort Sumner they were resettled on a reservation very much smaller than the area they had formerly occupied. The··reservatton boundaries were specified,_ however, and by the terms of the treaty the Navajos were required to remain within these limits. In many respects the area set aside for their use was of tntertor quaaty. · Much of the water and gras$lands they had previously used lay beyond the reservation boundartes, Settlers were coming in to homestead lands adjacent .to the reserv"atton and there was constant friction between them -and the Navajos. Either the Navajos poached on private propertY with their herds, or to stave off starvatton, they killed cattle belonging to the settlers. . . . A raptd increase .of livestock as well as of. the human population on the .. reservation, coupled with exceptionally heavy rainfall in the mid l.880' s -upset the delicate balance of nature and began the excessive erosion that has scarred the Navajoland with gullies and deep arroyos. There was not enough forage for theltveatoek necessary to sustain the people.. The landarea was simply too small, and many of the people were forced by necessity to move beyond the reservation boundaries. Periodically the boundaries were extended to include new areas in which Navajos were already Uving. Thus, the reservation grew in size, but the resources added were still not sufficient. < • C • I \ E'conomtc pressure; with the ever present specter c,f starvation, made it difficult at ttmes to prevent the Navajos from raiding or from engaging in actual warfare -wtth the white settlers. · In fact some -raiding tttea were · operating in the early 1870's ln southern Utah, During the pas"t 80 years lnsuff icient and overgrazed land has ma the Uvestock industry increasingly inadequate as a basts for Navajo economy. Also, the failure of the American people to provide effective education for the Navajos during this period has left the Navajoslll-equ ped to make : economic adjustments and ~ubstttute ot f modes· of ltvelthood for the decUnlng Uteetoek economy. Certatn a . cts of the Navajo problem have -39- ehanged over the course of the past 80 years. However. the problem remains today basically 11hat tt was in the pa.st. In the treaty of 1868 between the Navajos and the Government, the United States promised to provide a classroom and a teaeher for every SOI.•• .. Navajo children of school age; the Navajos tn turn promtaed to 1ee tbat their children attended ,chool. Thts agreement was for not less than 10 yeara. Neither side dld very much about It. Wtth the retur,n· from Fort Sumner Navajos again scattered over the thousand• of l"-.)Uare mile1 of. semt .. desert lands. The Government opened one day sc,flool at Fort Deftance. It had about 11 children at ftrst, · 1-ater tt lost even theet and was closed entirely for a brtet ttme, The NavaJ·o• saw Uttle need for an American tne education. . . . , . . · . l Today these people unanimously support education and attendan•• ts entirely voluntary. Once there were empty school rooms; today many Navajo chtldren are turned away. Tbere are now about 28, 000 Navajo · chtldren of school age. There are no school facilttte1 for ,wproxlmately 6, 000. · The ultimate goal under the Long Range RehabtUtatton Program for • the.Navajo and ff opt peq,lea •. nd t. hetr reservations ts to·provtde ·1chool facllttiee for all •.
