Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Continuing where the author's previous volume left off, The Navajo as Seen by the Franciscans, 19201950: A Sourcebook picks up the story of one of the great cultural confluences in American history. It reflects, from the standpoint of the Franciscan missionaries, the joining of two starkly different ways of life. The years between 1920 and 1950 were not tame times for the Navajos. They were faced with epidemics, a federal education policy that sometimes fostered 'child stealing,' the era of stockreduction and the attendant impoverishment of the entire tribe, Navajo political reorganization, a failed mid1930s attempt to shift Navajo education from boarding schools to day schools, and continual deep underfunding of Navajo programs until the U.S. Congress, spurred by unprecedented media attention to Navajo poverty, in 1950 passed the NavajoHopi Rehabilitation Bill.Consisting of both primaryfirsthand accounts of families visited, events observed, and actions taken in which the writer participated directlyand secondarythe historical record based on the writings of otherssources of Franciscan writings, the Franciscan literature sampled in this book mirrors the Navajo of the early and mid20th century. The texts created by the Franciscans and their associates in the course of their labors, constitute a seldomquoted, littleread, generally difficulttoaccess literature of enormous importance to the history of Navajowhite relations. Many of the Franciscans who came to the reservation stayed there for their entire working lives, spending decades learning the Navajo language and serving the population. Their writings to each other, whether published in mission journals or preserved in their correspondence, present an intimate view of Navajo life as observed by missionaries dedicated to serving the Navajo, burying their dead, serving as their advocates with the institutions of white America, teaching their children, and trying themselves to learn the Navajo language.
