Excerpt from A History of the Chaco Navajos If we are ever to gain the knowledge that we seek, the traditions of the descendants of the original inhabitants must be taken into account. Their lifeways, their world views, and their oral literature all form a part of these traditions. Perhaps even their histories during more recent periods may provide insights into earlier days.

In the present report, David Brugge, a National Park Service anthropologist and a recognized authority on the Athabaskans of the Southwest, carefully and meticulously details the history of the Navajo people of the Chaco area. Brugge's account is fundamentally descriptive and consciously impartial. Yet at times he presents us alternative views to the published accounts of historical events of the area, offering the "Navajo version" as gleaned from interviews with the old people themselves.
Excerpt from The Navajos Little Histories of North American Indians is designed to give in plain and simple form a concise and authentic history of the North American Indians by tribes. So far, most of the literature giving relia ble accounts of the life, manners, customs, habits, religion, mythology, arts, and crafts of the various Indian tribes of our country is contained chiefly in government reports and in scientific works which are either not readily accessible to the reading public, or are too scientific and technical to be enjoyable and entertaining to the average general reader. The aim, then, is a popular and reliable little history of our North American Indians which will, in a measure, satisfy the ever increasing desire on the part of Americans for a more intimate knowledge of the first of all Americans. It has not been the intention to present in this little book - the first of the series - any new facts concerning the Navajos, but rather to bring together the facts already known of the tribe.

Excerpt from Report of a Visit to the Navajo, Pueblo, and Hualapais Indians of New Mexico and Arizona The present buildings of the school are miserably inadequate to its needs. They are one story in height, and are built of adobe brick. In the rain y season the roof will not keep out the storms. The rooms are overcrowded. A new building is now being erected by the Government within one-quarter mile of the Old. This will give accommodation for one hundred and fifty scholars.

Excerpt from The Gentile System of the Navajo Indians I. IN the most extensive and, to my mind, the most reliable ver sion which I have recorded of the great creation and migration myth of.the Navajos, more than two thirds of the story is told before the first mention of an existing gens is made. Men (or anthropo pathic animals and anthropomorphic gods, as they may better be considered) had ascended through four lower worlds to this world they had passed through many dire vicissitudes they had increased and warred and wandered; they had been almost exterminated by evil powers; the sacred brothers - the Navajo war-gods - had been born, had grown to manhood, and had in turn slain the evil tormen tors of their race, before the ancestors of the nuclear gens of the Navajos were created.

Excerpt from Nah-Nee-Ta: A Tale of the Navajos The purpose of the author in giving this labor of real and fictitious things to the public may find expression better in a preface, probably, than elsewhere. For a period of several years following close upon the war of the rebellion, he was stationed in Western New Mexico in the immediate vicinity of the country occupied by the Navajos, and became during that time largely acquainted with the customs and habits of this remarkable people. Since that period a railroad has been built almost upon the Southern line of their reservation, and settlements of white people have been made upon all sides about them. Influenced by these means, many of their time-honored practices and customs have been largely modified or entirely abandoned. A new people, virtually, has made its appearance in place of the old one, with entirely different views of life, and its duties. A people, it may be said, without practically a single national characteristic yet developed in this new transitional state. The influences thus exerted have caused the young men to become skeptical of the teachings of their elders, and at the same time have made them slow to adopt the habits and practices of strangers. The customs of the people before these changes occurred, will now only be preserved by means of unreliable legends. Anticipating this result, the author endeavored during his residence near them, to obtain reliable information concerning their ancient customs and beliefs, in order that it might be preserved as a possible contribution to science. The task proved to be a difficult one. Such practices and evidences, of belief as fell under his personal observation, day after day, for long periods of time, alone seemed well substantiated.
