Comment on this resource
In Diné culture, land use planning is natural and develops from specific processes of thought or consciousness, planned action and responses, equilibrium and life outcomes, and sustainable stability. Every member of a natural community participates in these processes -- the air, rocks, animals, water, plants, and people. A college course in environmental planning based on the Din&#233 land use paradigm is described, as are two handbooks that were prepared for use in the course. Examples of student projects and how the culturally-contextual training is expected to impact the tribe are also described. Vol. XII, Issue 2, Winter 2000.
