Description
“A detailed presentation of governmental and economic developments among the Navajo since 1950. In this period, partly as a result of greatly increased revenues from mineral development and substantial federal aid, the Navajo nation has developed a sophisticated and elaborate governmental structure of its own design.... An excellent account of contemporary Indian life for this tribe. Good maps, a few tables, but no illustrations. Excellent documentation and bibliography. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to understand contemporary native American life.”– Choice
