<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 74596, member: 45&quot;]&quot;Navajo&quot; is the spelling used on the official Navajo Nation web site (<a href="http://www.navajo-nsn.gov/index.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.navajo-nsn.gov/index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.navajo-nsn.gov/index.htm</a>), and by the U.S. government&#039;s federal list of tribes (<a href="http://www.bia.gov/cs/groups/webteam/documents/document/idc1-029026.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bia.gov/cs/groups/webteam/documents/document/idc1-029026.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.bia.gov/cs/groups/webteam/documents/document/idc1-029026.pdf</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s also the preferred spelling on the reservation itself, as evidenced by the public signs and printed material, which use Navajo over Navaho almost exclusively.</p><p><br /></p><p>Language and spelling changes over the years. Although both spellings are considered correct, &quot;Navajo&quot; has clearly replaced &quot;Navaho,&quot; the latter having a more dated connotation.&nbsp; It&#039;s been a long-standing point of debate, but the current usage has pretty much been settled by the Navajo tribe and the American public.</p><p><br /></p><p>And for what it&#039;s worth, a search for &quot;Navaho&quot; on eBay shows 1,689 listings.&nbsp; &quot;Navajo&quot; comes up with 209,644![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
