I downloaded this book yesterday and find it quite interesting. Each unit consists of a Preparation stage (introducing new material and vocabulary), a Core stage (the lesson itself) and a Review stage. The central idea is that of learning by waves, i. e. approaching the material once (during the Preparation stage) and then coming back to it during the Core stage. The course provides plenty of material for repetition, manipulation and drills. I think it's the closest thing to a FSI course for Navajo (even if the course has its own identity).

Taped material was recorded for the course but I can't find it anywhere on the internet, does someone knowif it can be found ?
