Of the nearly 300,000 people who identified themselves as Navajo in the 2000 US Census, 178,014 identified themselves as speakers of Navajo. Poetry written and performed in both Navajo and English, continues to emerge as an important voice for Navajos. This study investigates the devices found in Navajo written and oral poetic traditions.
