Keedahwiit'iidi - Keyah Be'elyaago Ndaashch'aa'igii Binaaltsoos (Navajo Language Atlas)
This is a complete geographic compilation of Dineh Bikeyah created by Sebastian Wittig. The 63-page, full-color edition is written entirely in the Navajo Language. The author, now an instructor at Mesa Community College, recounted that as a student at Dine College, he could have used a Navajo-land atlas. As there was nothing available, he decided to make one himself. The atlas includes place names for towns, natural features and landmarks, historic references, and elevations, with insets illustrating the larger context for the map.
The atlas is a reliable reference guide and will be valuable for students and instructors.
