Reviews

"This book provides a unique view of the Navajos in that the historical documents present a narrative told through the interactions of the individuals featured in the book. . . . The resilience of the Navajo people is clearly illustrated in the documents written by prominent leaders. . . ."

"This is an important book within the field of American Indian studies and a book that is certainly worth reading. It is poignant, moving, and insightful."

"This compilation of documents furnishes a different view of the Navajo past. It shows these people making their own history and demonstrates how they worked to save their lands, develop their economy, educate their young people, govern themselves, and maintain their heritage while forging a brighter future."
