| Title | New Mexico First State to Adopt Navajo Textbook |
| Body | From http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5ghiKFmJ2IAt5Cs2sV-LnFivyo_VQD928NGTO0 New Mexico first state to adopt Navajo textbook By FELICIA FONSECA July 31, 2008 Evangeline Parsons Yazzie, a Navajo professor at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, is hopeful a book she recently wrote will provide a user-friendly way for New Mexico students to learn not only the language but the culture of a tribe that long has tied the two elements. State officials formally adopted Yazzie's book, "Dine Bizaad Binahoo'ahh," or "Rediscovering the Navajo Language," this week in Santa Fe. While other books on Navajo language exist, state officials say New Mexico is the first to adopt a Navajo textbook for use in the public education system.
