Diné Clans and Climate Change: A Historical Lesson for Land Use Today
This paper presents the history of the Diné (Navajo) system of kinship and clanship as a response to environmental and political instability. We describe the Diné traditional system of k'éí, kinship and clanship, held together by k'é, the ethic of universal relatedness, and how, after 1930, the system has fared under conquest, settler colonialism, climate change, and replacement with a government-administered grazing-permit system. As long recogn…
A Diné History of Navajoland
Traditional Navajo Maps and Wayfinding
All theories of the "peopling" of the Western Hemisphere acknowledge the abundant evidence, from remotest pre-Columbian times to the present, that American Indians have traveled long distances for direct subsistence, trade, and other purposes. 1 Yet most Indian societies have not produced "maps" in the familiar sense of "a representation, usually on a plane surface, of a region of the earth or heavens." 2 Outside the influence of European coloniz…
Indian Giving: Allotments on the Arizona Navajo Railroad Frontier, 1904-1937
This article seeks to deepen our understanding of an all-too-recurrent process: Washington, D.C.'s eviction of Indians from lands that the American government itself had previously "secured" for them. The intricacies of this process appear in a little-known story that precedes the Navajo-Hopi land dispute. It is the story of how Navajo families lost lands, which we call the Chambers Checkerboard (see fig
Many Generations, Few Improvements: "Americans" Challenge Navajos on the Transcontinental Railroad Grant, Arizona, 1881-1887
Between 1863 and 1868, the US Army waged a war on the Navajo people that ended in the Army holding perhaps half of all Navajos at Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The Navajo homelands before this time extended from southeastern Utah and southwestern Colorado across northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico. Fort Sumner was hundreds of miles to the east. In 1868, a dozen Navajo headmen inscribed their Xes on a treaty with the US Army, which set asi…
