Almost all of the bilingual books in this text set are Navajo and published by a small press, Salina Bookshelf. Salina Bookshelf specializes in adult and children’s books around Navajo life. Books about Hopi experiences can be found from other small presses or self-published. Unlike other bilingual books (Spanish/English), these bilingual books prioritize the Native language by placing that language first, a signal that these books are meant to teach Navajo language to Navajo children as part of language revitalization. There are 3 categories in this text set: contemporary life, traditional literature, and historical fiction.
