Navajo Indians See the Importance of Supporting their Families and Communities

The Navajo tribe is the largest Indian tribe in America. It has more than 250,000 people. They are located in northern New Mexico, part of southern Utah, part of northern Arizona. They first came from Apache in Pueblo. Their mother tongue is Athapaskan. "Navajo" comes from the word "Nabafu". The Spanish chronology reporter first called Navajos Apaches de Nabajo. This means that Apaches were planted in the valley. Then the name was shortened to Navajo after all.

The Navajo Indians lived in Alaska and Northwest Canada. A thousand years ago, the Navajo Indians traveled south, looking for something of higher quality there. When the Navajo Indians traveled south, there was a lot of oil in the 1940s. Today the Navajo Indians are located in the four corners. The marriage custom of the Navajo Indians is very unique. Brides need to be purchased with horses, sheep, or other valuables. Many Navajo Indians used love potions in the 1940s.

In the early Hollywood Western film, most of the background Indians were genuine Navajos. The Navajo Indians group lived in the Malibu camp, and they were working in the studio. When the west needs tribal Indians, the bus will raise their background work and load. That's why, in all of these movies, you are hearing this language in most cases "Dine" which is one of the dialects of Nassau and Apache's Aspas. The main speech role of American Indians is non-native actors such as Bertrand Custer and Charles Bronson, but fortunately since then, filmmakers and audiences have gained more education and made progress It was.

Many American Indians believe that language is the key to their identity They wonder if a person can become a Navajo, Apache, or Crow without speaking tribal language. Navajo is the strongest house that survived in the old Navajo, the house of Navajo (the local government of the tribe), and several Christian churches using Navajo's Bible and hymns. Younger Indians are less likely to speak their tribal language, as their schools, the music they listen to, and the television they see are all English. For children who grew up on TV, the tribal words are considered "out of date", "outdated", "not cool". As these children grow up and have children, they improve and only speak English. Because this is the only language that they learn to speak fluently. If this situation does not change, most of the remaining Hindi will be extinct in another generation or two generations.
