    WHAT DOES 'DINEH' MEAN?
    (Copied from The New York Times Archives,
    December, 17 1993, Sect A, Page 26):
    "The Navajo Nation, the largest Indian tribe in the United States, is considering a proposal to go back to its original name, Dine, which means 'the people.'
    Opponents say a change would cost taxpayers the expense of changing legal documents, stationery, flags, the tribal seal and maps and express concern about the confusion a name would cause after 300 years of using 'Navajo.' Those who support the name change say Navajo was a name outsiders gave the tribe. 'There is pride in Navajo Nation, but this is a subject that is in our hearts, our spirit,' said Duane Beyal, assistant to Peterson Zah, the Navajo Tribal President. 'Whether we use the name outsiders gave us or the name the Great Spirit gave us.' Dine (pronounced din-EH) is an Athapascan word for man, but has been translated as 'the people' by the Navajos, who routinely use it to refer to themselves and their language."
