Rationale:

Government changes when people and their way of life change. Through the years Dine leaders have changed. Problems today are different from those of the past. Our Dine leaders and the presidents of the United States have changed to meet new problems. 2 Elders have stated the importance to learn how Dine government and the United States government worked in the past. By listening and learning about the past, we will know better how to solve problems.

Navo is a word given to the people (Dine) in the Pueblo language. Later the word Navajo was given to the Dine people by the Pueblo natives, Navajo meaning cultivators. The word Navajo was adopted soon after. Dine is what we call our self today. With deep meaning, we also recognize one another as, we who have five fingers.
