Native Law Through Storytelling and Peacemaking

Abstract

Over time, the Western World has changed things for the Diné, almost to the point of total loss of culture. There is an urgency to save what’s left, in order for people to be reminded of, or reintroduced to traditional ways to help keep their way of life alive and thriving, Accurate preservation of Native American cultures is imperative. Two areas that could bring about great cultural involvement are the preservation and learning of the Diné language, and learning about and exercising the concept of Peacemaking as operationalized or found in Native Law.
