• This paper will deal with the interwoven relationship of language and identity. I will focus on how the Navajo Nation is trying to teach the Navajo language and culture to its people in order to build selfesteem and respect for thei traditional culture, and perhaps reduce the sense of alienation the younger members feel towards both their native culture and that of the white or Anglo society. The paper will also contrast the goals of the Navajo bilingual program and the goals of the `English Only' lobby by indicating that this latter group's policy is really exclusionist or alienating. I believe that a discussion of the various contending ideas may be instructive about the continuing cultural struggle between the Anglo-American majority society and the Navajo and other Native American tribes or nations as they strive to revitalize and/or enrich their cultures so that they will not die. This is an important struggle, for the world would be a lesser place if the cultures and the worldviews expressed in the languages of the Native Americans are lost to mankind.
