Thomas Dodge
Thomas(" Tom") Dodge( 1900- 1987) was an American lawyer.
Dodge ws the son of Henry Chee Dodge and half- brother of Annie Dodge Wauneka.
He earned a law degree from St. Louis University Law School after which he took up a private practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
He was elected to the Navajo Tribal Council in 1933 and served as the chairman of the Council between 1933 and 1936.
He presided over the Council during introduction of the Navajo Livestock Reduction.
Dodge respected the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, John Collier, who was recognized as a strong advocate for Native Americans.
In 1933, in advance of initiating the program, the Tribal Council met to discuss the plan.
Dodge introduced Collier to the Tribal Council as" the' Plumed Knight' of the Indian cause".
The program was widely opposed by the Navajo people who depended on their livestock for a livelihood.
The Navajo also measured their wealth by the size of their herds.
In 1935 Dodge was appointed assistant superintendent of the Navajo Agency, a division of the Bureau of Indian Affairs( BIA).
This put him in a position between representing the people of the Navajo Nation who opposed the program and the BIA which initiated it.
In May, 1936, he resigned his position as chairman of the Council to work exclusively for the BIA.
He spent the rest of his life working in various positions for the BIA.
In 1965, he was awarded a Distinguished Service Award of the Department of the Interior for his accomplishments during his career with the BIA.
The Navajo Boy
The Navajo Boy( 1950s) was a silent film that portrayed the Cly family on the Navajo Nation in Monument Valley, Utah.
The director, Robert J. Kennedy, narrated the film live at each showing.
In addition, he provided little written information about the context or the identities of the Navajo people featured in the film.
( The original spelling of the film is" The Navaho Boy", as was customary at the time.)
He featured Happy and Willie Cly.
Happy Cly is considered to be the most photographed Native American person in the United States.
Their nephew Jimmy Cly was the" Navajo Boy" for whom the original film was named.
At the turn of the twenty- first century, the director's son Bill Kennedy, a film producer, decided he wanted to revisit the Cly family for a documentary about their lives.
But he wanted to involve them and the Navajo people in the production and let them speak for themselves.
He produced the documentary," The Return of Navajo Boy"( 2000).
The Navajo believed the earlier film had treated them as voiceless stereotypes, and they wanted to express their own story.
They especially wanted to tell of the health damage and deaths in countless families due to the uranium mining on the reservation, which was unregulated for decades.
Berard Haile
Father Berard Haile( 1874–1961), O.F.M., was a Franciscan priest and one of the foremost authorities on Navajo anthropology.
He entered the Franciscan Order in 1891 and was ordained a priest on June 29, 1898.
He served at St. Michael's Mission, a Franciscan mission to the Navajo at St. Michaels, Arizona, and at other missions in the Southwest, from 1901 to 1954, where he developed an interest in Navajo language and culture.
He helped devise a written alphabet of the Navajo language and published a four volume work on learning Navajo.
In 1929 Haile attended the Catholic University of America and obtained a master's degree.
He then accepted the position of Research Associate in Anthropology at the University of Chicago.
He made a field trip with Edward Sapir through Navajo land that was sponsored by the Laboratory of Anthropology at Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Haile devised a new Navajo alphabet containing over sixty characters.
His other major work dealt with the creation story of the Navajo, Diné Bahaneʼ.
Haile was awarded a Doctor of Letters degree from St. Bonaventure University in 1951, and a Doctor of Laws degree in 1952 from the University of New Mexico.
In 1953 the Navajo Tribal Council passed a resolution which read in part:" Father Berard Haile has spent his life among the Navajo people learning to know and understand us and our religion, and has, more than any other living non-Indian, through close contact with Navajos and the medicine men of our tribe and by his indefatigable labor, reduced our language to written form and succeeded in preserving for future generations the knowledge of the Navajo history and religion."
