Great book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a wonderful book that has received a number of awards. The main elements of the story are clearly in the public domain as they appeared in Franc Johnson Newcomb's NAVAHO FOLK TALES published in 1967. In the introduction to that book Franc Johnson says that the stories he collected were "common to every Navaho household." Others have used this material, as has Ms. Keams.
