LEFT HANDED, SON OF OLD MAN HAT: A NAVAHO AUTOBIOGRAPHY By Walter Dyk **Mint Condition**.

About this product

Product Information

With a simplicity as disarming as it is frank, Left Handed tells of his birth in the spring when the cottonwood leaves were about the size of my thumbnail, of family chores such as guarding the sheep near the hogan, and of his sexual awakening. As he grows older, his account turns to life in the open: nomadic cattle-raising, farming, trading, communal enterprises, tribal dances and ceremonies, lovemaking, and marriage. As Left Handed grows in understanding and stature, the accumulated wisdom of his people is made known to him. He learns the Navajo life founded upon principles: the necessity of honesty, foresightedness, self-discipline. The style of the narrative is almost biblical in its rhythms; but biblical, too, in many respects, is the traditional way of life it recounts.

if you like nonfiftion Native American stories about life before reservations this is a great book.
Great book. Made me want to pick it up whenever I had a moment to read, Made me feel as though I was a bystander while it was all going on. The only thing that was a little tough is that everyone was Mother or Father except your real Mother and Father who were your parents.
