Native American History/ Navajo

“For Our Navajo People”: Diné Letters, Speeches & Petitions 1900–1960 is a seminal primary source anthology edited by historian Peter Iverson, featuring historic photographs compiled by Navajo photo editor Monty Roessel. Published in 2002 by the University of New Mexico Press, this book serves as a vital companion volume to Iverson's comprehensive tribal history, Diné: A History of the Navajos. It shifts the historical narrative by gathering 100 previously unpublished documents written by Diné men, women, and children, showcasing Native agency and resilience rather than highlighting non-Indians.
