I actually like the “pledge allegiance to God” bit.
Besides, I doubt words like “republic” exist in Navajo; most of these languages are very much stuck in time.

They could use a definition, say ‘Free Nation” for “Republic”. The Code Talkers of WWII used circumlocutions for words that weren’t in the Navajo language.

Yeah, me too, MWT. I started on the beta of this (Duolingo Navajo) and truly, it’s definitely stuck in time, which does make is useless as a functional language I guess. But I’d also say there’s zero harm in learning it and if it helps some kids get a bit more meaning and knowledge in their lives, doesn’t that make it useful? Just wish they’d do Tsalagi.

Our own 'nation' was modeled after the native folks we found living in the New York state area.
Iroquois League (as the French knew them) or Five Nations (as ... composed of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca nations.
...or not...
