I examine Robert Young's papers and publications to show how his work in support of John Collier's philosophy of cultural pluralism and goal of preserving Native cultures also helped support the federal government's efforts to create a Navajo polity patterned after the US government. Young's documentation of Navajo helped to create a standardized register for use in political and educational institutions, helped to teach and model the federal government's concept of the ideal modern Navajo citizen, and attempted to create a Navajo public sphere modeled on the American public sphere.

And finally, I'd like to thank my parents who have always supported all of my dreams, goals and plans. And last, but not least my husband, Chester Ogborn for his support, patience and love!

Data were collected on children aged 8 to 15 years who were diagnosed with asthma and attended asthma camp. Information on body mass index, hospital admissions, and emergency department visits was collected 1 year before and 1 year after camp. Asthma control tests, exhaled nitric oxide tests, and pulmonary function tests were administered at the beginning and end of camp. A total of 34 children with asthma (mean age 11 [±2] years) were included in this study. Postcamp asthma-related hospitalizations and emergency department visits decreased. Mean asthma control scores improved from 20.4 (±3.2) before camp to 23.4 (±2.8) after camp (P < 0.0001). Forced expiratory volume during the first breath and forced expiratory flow at 25% to 75% of the pulmonary volume improved during the weeklong camp (P ¼ 0.04 and 0.0007, respectively). Forced expiratory volume during the first breath further improved 6 to 12 months after camp compared to values before camp (P ¼ 0.047). Exhaled nitric oxide levels improved from the first to last day of camp by decreasing an average of 39% (P ¼ 0.0009). This study showed the positive effect that a short-term educational intervention in a camp setting had on asthma control scores and asthma knowledge.

For my research methodology I used archival research and examined the papers of linguist Robert Young, a linguist and BIA employee who throughout his decades of work with the Navajo Tribe compiled some of the most extensive documentary material on the Navajo language, as well as his published works. I examined documents including correspondence between linguists Robert W Young and J.P. Harrington, dictionaries and other linguistic materials for evidence of the US government’s efforts. In looking at Young’s work with the Navajo I show how he endeavored to create a standard register of Navajo for use in political and educational institutions, helped to
