Abstract
"Perhaps the most significant issue in the history of the Navajos is the tribe's success in maintaining its traditional culture while adapting to the massive pressures of Euramerican society. Few tribal groups have had to contend with as many and as diverse cultural and political competitors for as long a period of time as have the Navajos — Spain, Mexico, the United States, Catholic and Protestant missions, uprooted Indian communities striving for territory, all have pushed and pulled the Navajos more or less visibly since the middle of the sixteenth century. Acculturation never ceased, and today the tribe's culture shows reminders of its eventful history. Yet that culture is still unmistakably distinct and individual, as Professor Iverson emphasizes.

The Navajos has two main parts: an essay and an alphabetical list of all works cited. All citations in the essay are keyed by means of bracketed numbers to the more complete information in the bibliography. The book is immensely useful to both beginning students and advanced scholars."--Back cover.
