Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the Navajo Twins, Monster Slayer and Born for Water, exists in many versions. It can be said with certainty though, that Father Berard Haile's publication, is the most authoritative and extensive version ever written and recorded. "The text was obtained in the winter month of 1930, and dictated by Slim Curly of Crystal, New Mexico, a singer of recognized authority on every phase of this rite," he writes in the introduction.This text, originally recorded in the Navajo language, is written in the orthography devised by Dr. Sapir, and arranged with each page facing its English translation for easy following.The Navajo text and translation is in four parts. The first, "Monster Way," tells of the origin of the man-devouring monsters which appeared soon after the emergence of the people from the underworlds; of the birth of the miraculous twins, Enemy Slayer and Born for Water; of their visit to their father the Sun in order to obtain weapons; and of their campaigns against the monsters in order to make the earth a fit habitat for the human race. The second part, Enemy Way Legend, describes a war on the Taos Pueblo and subsequent events. Monster Slayer is the leader in the war; and the Hard Flint Boys, represented by the Black Dancers in the Enemy Way ceremonial, are introduced. The third part is the Enemy Way Ceremony, performed with the Young Man of Jarring Mountain as the patient, in order to restore the earth which was suffering from the effects of the conflicts with the Monsters and with the Taos warriors. The fourth part is a detailed description of the present day ceremonial itself. In the Appendix we find the text of the Enemy Way songs, including important notes to the song texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father Berard has made an indispensable bilingual volume available to the student of Navajo culture and language. Together with his Origin Legend of the Navaho Enemy Way it is the largest accumu-lation of recorded Navaho texts in existence, and the richest source of combined linguistic and ethnological data ever to be published. The Navajo text and translation contains a complete record of the songs and prayers of Flintway, the first to be published for any Navajo ceremonial. They are preceded by an extensive introduction and numerous ethnological notes not only pertaining to Flintway, but contain enough material to give the reader a fair idea of Navajo ceremonialism as a whole. The legend itself concerns the adventures of a young hunter who, having had adulter-ous relations with the wife of White Thunder, was shattered by the latter. Gila Monster Man was employed to restore him; and the detailed description of this process makes up the Flintway ceremonial complex used to treat internal injuries and their effects.

Book excerpt: Navajo Singers (medicine men) have always helped their Native veterans heal from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder through a War Dance, also known as the "Enemy Way". As Father Berard Haile writes in this publication: "To be sure the young warrior has slain the enemy and taken the life out of his body. But dreams about his encounters, dreams of actual combat or of actual contacts with, and sights of injured foreigners and the like, may haunt the returned boy or girl in his native habitat. There is loss of sleep and pep, a general listlessness and weakness which nothing at home can account for. Isn't it perhaps that those foreign journeys and contacts cause this condition? That the ghosts of those enemies are still active and are haunting him?" In his publication he gives a short description of the songs, prayers, drumming, and herbs used to cleanse the body from the effects of war. For a more indepth understanding of the Enemy Way, Native Child Dinétah has published Father Berard's work: Origin Legend of the Navaho Enemy Way, which includes the Navajo text and translation.

Download or read book The Fifth World of Forster Bennett written by Vincent Crapanzano and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is told that the ancestors of the Navajos journeyed through four worlds to reach the fifth, or present, one. The pressing complexities and underlying wonder of their fifth world of modern reservation life are portrayed in this classic ethnographic account by Vincent Crapanzano. ø As a young, inexperienced anthropologist, Crapanzano spent a summer with a Navajo man he calls Forster Bennett. In his fifties, Bennett was raised during the early reservation years, fought in the South Pacific in the Second World War, and, like many, carried a deep but not always openly expressed resentment toward whites. Crapanzano?s honest and gritty account of his time with Bennett and Bennett's community reveals a stark portrait of the ?flat, slow quality of reservation life,? where boredom and poverty coexist with age-old sacred rituals and the varying ways that Navajos react and adjust to changes in their culture.
Download or read book A Din History of Navajoland written by Klara Kelley and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2019-10-22 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time, a sweeping history of the Diné that is foregrounded in oral tradition. Authors Klara Kelley and Harris Francis share Diné history from pre-Columbian time to the present, using ethnographic interviews in which Navajo people reveal their oral histories on key events such as Athabaskan migrations, trading and trails, Diné clans, the Long Walk of 1864, and the struggle to keep their culture alive under colonizers who brought the railroad, coal mining, trading posts, and, finally, climate change. The early chapters, based on ceremonial origin stories, tell about Diné forebears. Next come the histories of Diné clans from late pre-Columbian to early post-Columbian times, and the coming together of the Diné as a sovereign people. Later chapters are based on histories of families, individuals, and communities, and tell how the Diné have struggled to keep their bond with the land under settler encroachment, relocation, loss of land-based self-sufficiency through the trading-post system, energy resource extraction, and climate change. Archaeological and documentary information supplements the oral histories, providing a comprehensive investigation of Navajo history and offering new insights into their twentieth-century relationships with Hispanic and Anglo settlers. For Diné readers, the book offers empowering histories and stories of Diné cultural sovereignty. “In short,” the authors say, “it may help you to know how you came to be where—and who—you are.”

Download or read book How to Read Signs and Omens in Everyday Life written by Sarvananda Bluestone and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-10-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover your psychic powers and learn to use the wonders of nature and the world around you as magical tools of divination. • Practical and enjoyable exercises help readers reconnect with their innate psychic sensitivity. • Includes 75 methods and practices of divination from around the world. Since the beginning of time, diviners and seers have been finding signs and omens in the world around them--in pools of water, tea leaves, delicate patterns of cracked animal bones, and the ripples of clouds in the sky. Because these observers have been able to tap into a deeper level of awareness, they have come to sense hidden truths in powerful and mysterious ways. In modern times we call those who possess these abilities "psychic," but native cultures accepted that each of us has an innate sixth sense and can learn how to read the forces of nature that appear before us. In this fascinating and enlightening guide, historian and psychic Sarvananda Bluestone shows us how our innate knowledge can be rediscovered, allowing us to become far more in tune with our surroundings than we ever dreamed possible. He teaches us to use everyday objects and the wonders of nature as magical tools that offer a window into the future--and ourselves. Whether watching birds cross the morning sky or divining the subtle energies of the earth, you will see the world in an entirely new light. Filled with practical exercises, How to Read Signs and Omens in Everyday Life demonstrates how the discovery of the power within ourselves requires nothing more than a little guidance and a willingness to see.
Download or read book Mythology and Values written by Katherine Spencer and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Katherine Spencer examines Navaho cultural values by studying a specific subset of Navaho mythology: chantway myths, part of ceremonies performed to cure illness. She begins with a summary of the general plot construction of chantway myths and the value themes presented in these plots, then discusses “explanatory elements” inserted by the narrators of the myths. She continues with a deeper analysis of the cultural value judgements conveyed by these myths. At the end of the book, Spencer includes abstracts of the myths she discusses.
