During the final decade of the twentieth century, Navajo people
had to confront a number of challenges, from unexplained illness,
the effects of uranium mining, and problem drinking to threats to
their land rights and spirituality. Yet no matter how alarming
these issues, Navajo people made sense of them by drawing guidance
from what they regarded as their charter for life, their origin
stories.
Through extensive interviews, Maureen Trudelle Schwarz allows
Navajo to speak for themselves on the ways they find to respond to
crises and chronic issues. In capturing what Navajo say and think
about themselves, Schwarz presents this southwestern people's
perceptions, values, and sense of place in the world.
