The Navajo

THE NAVAJO is a case study of a pastoral community. The author has chosen to focus on the pastoral aspects of Nez Ch'ii society & culture, since shepherding plays a most important role in the history of the Navajo in general & remains the most important focus of the recent culture of Nez Ch'ii. The Nez Ch'ii is a significant community of the Navajo tribe & one that still holds to the pastoral herding ecology that has characterized some of the Navajo for at least 250 years.James F. Downs is the author of 'The Navajo', published 1984 under ISBN 9780881330373 and ISBN 088133037X.
