This lively account of a pioneering anthropologist's experiences
with a Navajo family grew out of the author's desire to learn to
weave as a way of participating in Navajo culture rather than
observing it from the outside. In 1930, when Gladys Reichard came
to stay with the family of Red-Point, a well-known Navajo singer,
it was unusual for an anthropologist to live with a family and
become intimately connected with women's activities. First
published in 1934 for a popular audience, "Spider Woman" is valued
today not just for its information on Navajo culture but as an
early example of the kind of personal, honest ethnography that
presents actual experiences and conversations rather than
generalizing the beliefs and behaviors of a whole culture. Readers
interested in Navajo weaving will find it especially useful, but
Spider Woman's picture of daily life goes far beyond rugs to
describe trips to the trading post, tribal council meetings, curing
ceremonies, and the deaths of family members.
