HISTORICAL CONTEXT

Oral Perspective | Navajo Language | Literary Perspective | Contemporary Diné


In honoring both communication technologies of orality and literacy, each perspective serves as a foundation for understanding the new information technologies. The insider's perspective representing the tradition of orality, values the origin story as the primary cultural-historical past of Diné; and the outsider's perspective representing the tradition of literacy, details the archeological and anthropological research as the ascribed history of the Southwest (Faris, 1996; Turner, 1981).
