Robert W. Young, linguist, was born on May 18, 1912 in Chicago, IL. Following graduation
from the University of Illinois, in 1935, he enrolled in anthropology at the University of New
Mexico. There he became interested in the Navajo language and he was invited to collaborate
with John P. Harrington of the Smithsonian Institution in the translation of a series of primers for
the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In 1939-40, he accompanied Harrington to Canada for comparative
fieldwork with four Athabaskan languages.
Subsequently, during the period 1940-1971, he was employed by the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, first as a Specialist in Indian Languages, and after 1950, in Navajo Tribal Relations. In
1971, he joined the staff of the Modern Languages Department at the University of New Mexico
where he taught classes in Navajo Linguistics and collaborated with Professor Bernard Spolsky
in research conducted by the Navajo Reading Study. It was during this period that a grant was
received from the National Endowment for the Humanities to permit Young, jointly with his
longtime Navajo colleague, William Morgan Sr., to embark on a major project designed for the
compilation of an extensive bilingual Navajo-English/English-Navajo dictionary and grammar. It
was published in 1980 under the title, The Navajo Language: A Grammar and Colloquial
Dictionary. This work was published again in 1987 in revised form, and this was
followed in 1992 by An Analytical Lexicon of Navajo, compiled with the
assistance of Sally Midgette. Both works were published by the University of New Mexico
Press.
In 1968, Young wrote a history of the Navajo for publication in a commemorative edition of The Gallup Independent celebrating the centennial of the Navajo Treaty of 1868
between the United States Government and the Navajo Tribe. During the 1950's, he compiled a
detailed historical-statistical study entitled The Navajo Yearbook, which was
published in annual editions and widely distributed to State, Federal, and Tribal officials. In
1989, Young wrote A Political History of the Navajo Tribe, published by Navajo
Community College (now Din College). Finally, in 2000, the University of New Mexico Press
published his treatise on the Navajo verb, under the title, The Navajo Verb System.
In 1969, Young received an honorary doctorate from the University of New Mexico. He
received the Department of the Interior's Superior Service Award in 1972. In 1994, he received
the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities award for Excellence in the Humanities, and in
1996, he and his colleague, William Morgan were honored by the Navajo Tribe in a special
session of the Navajo Nation Government.
Robert Young passed away on February 20, 2007 at the age of 95.
Return to Table of Contents
The Robert W. Young collection contains newspaper clippings, papers, manuscripts
(published and unpublished), data, handwritten and typed notes, memoranda, court cases and
correspondence concerning linguistics (Athabaskan - Navajo), anthropology, history, BIA
records, and Navajo Nation Tribal records from 1880 to 1992.
The collection is divided into 6 overlapping series: Linguistics, History/Anthropology,
Navajo Condition, Government Relations, and Other Native American Related Publications.
The Linguistics series divides into General, Comparative Canadian Athabaskan, and
Applied. The General Linguistics subseries contains manuscripts, conference papers, typed, and
handwritten notes regarding Navajo grammar. The subseries also contains correspondence
between Robert Young and William Morgan, Sr. during their collaborative efforts on The
Navajo Language: A Grammar and Colloquial Dictionary (1980) and Analytical
Lexicon of Navajo (1992). The Comparative Canadian Athabaskan subseries regards
comparative field work across the Beaver, Carrier, Chipewyan, and Sarci languages with audio
samples of the Thlingit and Haida languages. The Applied Linguistics subseries concerns
materials for classroom instruction.
History/Anthropology contains correspondence, reports, articles, and historical sketches
concerning early Spanish and Anglican contact in the Southwest. The theme for this series
surrounds agriculture/hunting, dancing, kinship, peyote, place names, stars/constellations, and
witchcraft. This series includes materials on peyotism by David Aberle.
The Navajo Condition incorporates several subseries: 1) General - summaries/reports
regarding the Navajo situation from 1939-1969, 2) Education - materials concerning boarding
schools and special education, 3) Employment - reports and articles of employment statistics in
the Navajo Reservation area, 4) Industry, 5) Land/Resources/Surveys - land purchases, irrigation,
soil & moisture programs, and uranium drilling, 6) Livestock - range resources and stock
reduction programs, 7) Welfare - charities, reports, and articles concerning alcohol consumption.
Government Relations divides into three subseries: Federal, Tribal/Constitution, and Court
Cases/Legal Issues. The Federal subseries contains correspondence reflecting early U.S.
Government-Navajo contact, Navajo trading, administration, policies, progress on Navajo
withdrawal, and census statistics. Materials in the Tribal/Constitution subseries concern early
Navajo government, self-administration, formation of the Navajo constitution, and Ramah
Navajo jurisdiction to the Pueblo Lands Board. Court Cases/Legal Issues mostly concerns the
activities of Norman Littell, Navajo General Council and Claims Attorney hired in 1947. A
particular focus concerns Littell's private negotiations with outside mining interests while
bypassing the Navajo Tribe's own mining engineers. Material also relates to the time period when
the Navajo Council was divided on the renewal of Littell's contract, ultimately involving
Secretary of the Interior, Stewart Udall.
Finally, the Oversize series contains a few large publications, plates, and miscellaneous
items.
