Hozho Walking in Beauty Native American Stories of Inspiration, Humor, and Life

Hozho--the Navajo word for "walking in beauty"--lies at the heart of these 25 stories of Native American wit and wisdom--stories in which Deer Spirit, Old Coyote, Sacred Mountains, crystal caves, and basketball magic reign. Survival and transcendence are central themes among Native writings, but humor and a sense of play resonate throughout these tales as well. Featuring well-known and up-and-coming Native American writers, this unique anthology captures the enduring traditions of indigenous peoples. Hozho: Walking in Beauty reveals the rich tapestry of Indian life in contemporary America. It examines the experience not only of what it means to be Indian, straddling both Western and Native worlds, but also what it means to be an American, a hybrid of people living in a land of diverse cultures.Allen, Paula Gunn is the author of 'Hozho Walking in Beauty Native American Stories of Inspiration, Humor, and Life' with ISBN 9780737305852 and ISBN 0737305851.
