Masked Gods is a vast book, a challenging and profoundly original
account of the history, legends, and ceremonialism of the Navaho
and Pueblo Indians of the Southwest. Following a brief but vivid
history of the two tribes through the centuries of conquest, the
book turns inward to the meaning of Indian legends and ritual -
Navaho songs, Pueblo dances, Zuni kachina ceremonies. Enduring
still, these rituals and ceremonies express a view of life, of
man's place in the creation, which is compared with Taoism and
Buddhism - and with the aggressive individualism of the Western
world.
