Salina Bookshelf is a publishing company based in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Founded in 1994 by teenagers Eric and Kenneth Lockard, non-native but fluent in Navajo due to growing up among the Navajo,[1] the company specializes in Navajo-language books, mostly for children and adolescents, and is the only Navajo-language publisher in the United States.[2] Among its publications are a bilingual edition of the 1940s classic Who wants to be a prairie dog? and Diné Bizaad Bínáhooʼaah, the Navajo language textbook that was officially adopted by the state of New Mexico in 2008.[3] Salina Bookshelf currently has six full-time employees and three translators.[2]
