A new dub of the original Star Wars (Episode IV) has been made in the Navajo language
of Diné, and will premiere on July 3rd in the Navajo Reservation in Arizona.

It's an interesting thought that translating a work of the dominant language could help
to preserve the minority language, but it does make a certain amount of sense.

That's good news. I'm glad they didn't dub the prequels, that would've probably lost everyones' faith in the
language
