The video below is entitled ‘The Navajo Handprint’, and features project participants who talk about the necessity of saving the Navajo language.

 

According to language experts, if fewer than 20% of a culture’s youngest children do not speak their native language, that language is considered endangered and could disappear over time. Today, only about 5% of Navajo children under 6 years of age are fluent in Diné bizaad.
