History comes alive between the pages of this book. It contains the
Treaty of 1868 and many other documents, illustrations, maps and
photos of the events leading up to this important day in Navajo
history. The book draws its content from primary material and gives
access to an extended amount of historical resources, that never
before have been documented in one publication. Originally
addressed to teachers and students of Navajo culture and history in
Navajo schools, this expanded edition is now made available to a
larger audience and will lead to a better understanding of the
Navajo Nation's very painful chapter in history. Includes: copy of
the original hand written Treaty historical events leading up to
the Long Walk Manuelito's and Jesus Arviso's biography collected
and recorded oral history stories (Hweeldi Baa Hane)
Ann Nolan Clark's moving stories of Navajo life as seen through the
eyes of a young Navajo girl are available in print again. These
poetically rendered, bilingual accounts of Navajo culture and
traditions describe a sustainable way of life that is rooted in the
land and linked to the seasons. First published in 1940, they were
an outstanding achievement for their sensitively rendered cultural
content, establishment of a written Navajo language, and for the
sheer beauty of Navajo artist Hoke Denetsosie's illustrations.
These unique books are among the most interesting and
groundbreaking of all American children's literature and appeal to
young and adult readers. There are four Little Herder books: 1. In
Autumn 2. In Winter 3. in Spring 4. In Summer This edition has been
newly typeset in Navajo and designed to closely resemble the
original.
