Cultural Code Words of the Navajo People Summary
| Known as "The Lords of the Land" during they heyday in the 17th and 18th centuries, the Navajo people were decimated by the American military, white man's diseases and mistreatment from the 1860s and beyond. But they rebounded and now have the largest Reservation in the U.S., and their numbers are more than the combined populations of Arizona's other 21 Indian tribes. The author uses key terms in the sophiscated Navajo language to reveal their history, their spiritual beliefs and the wisdom of their lifestyle. The role of poetry in their lives is astounding. |
