Salina Bookshelf, Inc. is a publishing company based in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Founded in 1994 by teenagers Eric and Kenneth Lockard, non-native but fluent in the Navajo language due to growing up among the Navajo,[1] the company specializes in Navajo-language books, mostly for children and teenagers. The company is the only Navajo-language publisher in the United States.[2]
Among its publications are a bilingual edition of the children's book Who wants to be a prairie dog? in English and Navajo,[3] and Diné Bizaad Bínáhooʼaah, a Navajo language textbook that was officially adopted by the state of New Mexico in 2008.[4][5]
