Abstract

The “Diné Terms or Phrases and how it applies to Plants and the Habitat” Curriculum is developed for secondary level students (grades 9-12). It will include the plants that are currently found in the areas near Kayenta, Arizona. The textbook, Rediscovering the Navajo Language, has several chapters that will apply to this topic on the plants and habitats including on traditional foods and seasonal plants, planting, and harvesting. Additional information that could be used are the verb conjugation models of “eating it” and “drinking it”.
