This review is from: Navaho Legends (Paperback)
"Navaho Legends" is one of the earliest collections of Navaho oral traditions in English, and still the best. Originally published in 1897, this sensitive translation by Washington Matthews (1843-1905) contains an extensive version of the Origin Legend plus two other tales ("Natinesthani" and "The Great Shell of Kintyel"). These richly detailed legends remain among the most complete sources of Navaho cultural, ritual, and cerimonial information. This edition, published by University of Utah Press, is fully faithful to the original, containing Matthews' introduction, extensive notes, interlinear prayer translations, and musical notations, plus a note on modern orthography by Robert W. Young. 303 pp. (From the back cover).
