Navaho Indian Myths (Native American) - O'Bryan, Aileen

Clean, tight, unmarked; light wear to corners; small area of sticker removal damage to front cover; very small half circle stain to bottom edge of front cover; otherwise very minimal wear; In the late 1920s, an elderly Navaho leader, anxious to preserve the myths of his people before they were lost in the tide of modern civilization, asked Aileen O'Bryan to record the tales he told her and to publish them in a book. The storyteller was Sandoval, Hastin Tlo'tsi hee (Old Man Buffalo Grass), wrote down the old man's stories - as well as many chants - for the most part just as he told them. This book is the result - a unique compilation of authentic age-old Navaho origin and creation myths, from which many Navaho tribal ceremonies eventually evolved.
