A History of Navajo Nation Education: Disentangling Our Sovereign Body

"Wendy Greyeyes makes a compelling and historically grounded argument regarding the difficulties inherent in developing a sovereign education system for the Navajo Nation that is ultimately to be controlled by the Diné. This book describes the ongoing journey to untangle competing educational jurisdictions with ongoing federal support for tribal sovereignty to benefit the education of Navajo students living in reservation communities. A History of Navajo Nation Education is essential reading for policymakers and advocates for self-determination in the education of Indigenous people."―Harvey Rude, Director of the Colorado Center for Rural Education

"Well written and well thought out, this book illustrates what is happening within the Navajo Nation School System. I would strongly recommend this book be added to your personal or professional library."―Geraldine Garrity, Provost of Diné College
