(Hardcover): Stories of a Teacher on a Small Navajo Reservation in 1970s New Mexico)
Teaching on a small Navajo reservation in western New Mexico, surrounded by cowboys, Mormons, Mexicans, and Zuni Indians was quite the culture shock to a boy from Baltimore. It was a celebration of diversity, individualism, and Native tradition thanks to the opportunities presented by the Ramah Navajo people. From tribal stories to western folklore to superstitions played out in the lost canyons and mesas of this unique state of New Mexico., the undercurrent of a living history flowed through everything and every experience. 302 pages hc
