In this marvelous collection, Franc Newcomb recounts some of the many such tales she heard during long winter evenings at Blue Mesa, tales that describe the journey of the Diné to the present world and the efforts of the People to establish themselves here. 2) Navajo Tabos by Ernie Bulow. Softcover. 216 pages. 1991. Excellent condition. 6" x 8". Navajo Taboos is not some scholarly work by an anthropologist, but an insider s look at a body of folk beliefs shared by many Navajos, illuminating their cultural priorities.
