Abstract

One of the primary objectives of education in the United States is to prepare young people for adult life. They are expected to become a part of the social and civic life of the community, and by working in a vocation to contribute to their own personal welfare and that of the society in which they live.

The above tasks are considered some of the most important and difficult ones facing all youth. If it is difficult for the youth who has had full advantage of the culture in which he lives, it is certain to be much more difficult for the youth who has not had the full opportunity to participate in and acquire this culture. This is the task faced by the Navajo youth who is uprooted from a culture and environment which is much different than that in which he is subjected to in a modern society. In a relative short time he is expected to acquire a new culture and participate successfully in it.
