In this in-depth exploration of the symbols found in Navaho legend and
ritual, Gladys Reichard discusses the attitude of the tribe members
toward their place in the universe, their obligation toward humankind
and their gods, and their conception of the supernatural, as well as how
the Navaho achieve a harmony within their world through symbolic
ceremonial practice.
