This is the most complete version of the Navajo creation story to appear since the publication of Washington Matthew's Navaho Legends in 1897. Paul G Zolbrod's new translation gives us a translation that retains the social and religious significance of the original stories. He has worked with archival materials including transcriptions of early twentieth century Navajo performances and has talked with Navajo elders who helped him to salvage portions of the creation story that might otherwise disappear.
