Book excerpt: Navajoland is the heart and soul of the American Southwest. Today the Navajo Reservation incorporates portions of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah, but it is only about half the size of the traditional homeland of the Dine, the People. Nearly all of it is sacred. Before Spaniards and Americans affixed their own names to the land, every topographic feature had at least one Navajo name, many of which made their way onto maps or are still in use among Navajo speakers.
