First published in 1966 and now considered a classic, THEY SANG FOR
HORSES remains the only comprehensive treatment of the profound
mystical influence that the horse has exerted for more than three
hundred years. In this completely redesigned and expanded edition,
LaVerne Harrell Clark examines how storytellers, singers, medicine
men, and painters created the animal's evolving symbolic
significance by adapting existing folklore and cultural symbols.
Exploring the horse's importance in ceremonies, songs, prayers,
customs, and beliefs, she investigates the period of the horse's
most pronounced cultural impact on the Navajo and the Apache,
starting from the time of its acquisition from the Spanish in the
seventeenth century and continuing to the mid-1960s, when the
pickup truck began to replace it as the favoured means of
transportation. In addition, she presents a look at how Navajos and
Apaches today continue to redefine the horse's important role in
their spiritual as well as material lives.
