The Future of Navajo Education: Volume 2

By Marlen Bautista

“For our people to be successful, we need to pursue Navajo educational sovereignty. We must empower our students to learn, adapt, and educate themselves using our language.” — Dr. Buu Nygren, President, The Navajo Nation

The Future of Navajo Education: Volume 2 presents the transformative ways Navajo educators leverage both traditional knowledge and modern educational resources to advocate for organizational change and strengthen Navajo educational sovereignty. The book features scholarly research rooted in the educational philosophy of the Navajo people, emphasizing social responsibility and community service.

Authored by Fielding Graduate University alumni from the Navajo Nation, this volume highlights the continued efforts of educators who remain deeply connected to their communities, as well as those working in border towns to support Navajo students. Through each chapter, readers will explore the ongoing application of Diné principles that have shaped Navajo education for generations and continue to guide its future in the 21st century.
