The Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in April 2008. Soil names and descriptions were approved in June 2008. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this publication refer to conditions in the survey area in 2008. This survey was made cooperatively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service; the Navajo Nation; the Navajo Mountain Soil and Water Conservation Service; and the Arizona Agricultural Experiment Station. The survey is part of the technical assistance furnished to the Navajo Mountain Soil and Water Conservation District and the Navajo Nation. Soil maps in this survey may be copied without permission.

  • Clean Air and Water Navajo Nation
    Clean Air and Water Navajo Nation: Water for Life in the Southwest Judith Arnold Dine Institute for Navajo Nation Educators (DINE) 2019 Author Note: Judith Arnold is a fifth-grade teacher at Marshall Elementary School. Correspondence about this curriculum unit can be addressed to Judith Arnold 2305 West Adirondack Avenue, Flagstaff, AZ, 8600. Email contact: [email protected] Introduction I was raised in an isolated area in rural Kansas. It was so quiet that you could hear ringing in your ears from the silence. The only people I have ever mentioned this to that recognized that level of quietness in nature were Navajo people that had been raised on the Navajo Reservation. My parents were glad to have seven children. We lived in a house much too small for our family. There was not enough space to stand up to leave the kitchen table after we sat down to eat until everyone finished their food. The kids closest to the next room stood up first so those of us pinned in by the table could push it outward and get out as well. We raised our own food. We had fruit trees and a huge garden, so we always had enough to eat. We lived across a dirt road from the railroad tracks. The train would pass by once and on occasion twice a day. It was a great adventure to run along the road as the train went by and wave to the men in the caboose who would watch for us every day and wave back. My family was poor, and we had few toys other than sticks and clay that we formed into pottery shapes and paper that we drew on.

  • Navajo Mountain Vole (Microtus Mogollonensis)
    TOC Page | 61 NAVAJO MOUNTAIN VOLE (MICROTUS MOGOLLONENSIS) Navajo/Federal Statuses: NESL G4 / not listed under the ESA. Distribution: Range of M.mogollonensis is AZ, NM and Mexico with small populations in southern UT, CO, and TX. M.m.navaho range extends from Williams, AZ to Mesa Verde, CO, including four locations on Navajo Nation: Navajo Mountain, Black Mesa, Defiance Plateau, and Chuska Mountains. Habitat: Typically occupy dry grassy vegetation in conifer forests, with variations including: dense prostrate shrub patches in ponderosa pine forests (Navajo Mountain); monotypic sagebrush stands, thick grasses in greasewood/ desert-olive stands and juniper stands, shrubby tamarisk thickets and chained pinyon and juniper woodlands (Black Mesa); and clear-cut pine flats with regenerating grasses and scattered oak (Chuska Mountains). Ground cover vegetation is necessary. Similar Species: Clethrionomys gapperi has reddish fur on dorsum; Microtus montanus and M. longicaudus have slightly longer tails and four pair of mammary glands. Phenology: m.APR-l.AUG: pregnancy, birthing, lactating of young e.SEP-m.APR: non-breeding season Survey Method: t1 pedestrian survey for habitat evaluation and presence of runways; species identification requires live-trapping. Avoidance: No activity (year-round) within 60 m of occupied habitat that could result in destruction of burrows/runways and take of individuals. References: Frey, J.K. and C.T. LaRue. 1993.
