3 out of 5 stars Dubious and inappropriate.   May 9, 2000
Sean Burke (Ketchikan, Alaska, United States)
8 out of 9 found this review helpful

I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, esp. given the dearth of teaching materials for any Native languages. But being shown how to say "brandy snifter" or "Pluto" in Navajo does make one wonder about the cultural applicability of these endeavors.

(This reminds me of the Duden dictionaries that used the same illustration-templates for every edition -- based on the German -- so that in the English-Thai edition, we could all be shown how to say "serving pot for boiled potatoes" in languages whose cultures had no such concept.)

In short, I worry that this is very inappropriate for Navajo culture. It may have /some/ useful vocabulary in it, but on the whole it seems very unreliable.
