A qualitative research with multiple methods, which investigates the phenomena of language shift and sustainment it of one Diné family. A Diné father was interviewed. The mother tongue should still be use at home however, the Navajo language is taught at school. I spent eighty plus hours interviewing the Diné father. I spent countless hours of observing Shizhe’é and the interview was all done in Diné Bizaad. Shizhe’é explained the challenges and obstacles of maintaining the mother tongue.
