Join us at the Main Library on Saturday, January 18th at 4:00 p.m., for a book signing and discussion of: The Earth Memory Compass: Diné Landscapes and Education in the Twentieth Century.
The Diné, or Navajo, have their own ways of knowing and being in the world, a cultural identity linked to their homelands through ancestral memory. The Earth Memory Compass traces this tradition as it is imparted from generation to generation.
The book follows Farina King’s search for her own Diné identity as she investigates the interconnections among Navajo students, their people, and Diné Bikéyah—or Navajo lands—across the twentieth century. Farina King, a citizen of the Navajo Nation, is an Assistant Professor of History and affiliated faculty of Cherokee and Indigenous Studies at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, OK.
