Wonderful evocation of Rez life today in the Navajo Nation

If you are missing the taste of dust and sagebrush or want to here people talking on the rez or see life here made beautiful like a ceremony would do-then read this book. It's funny and makes voices ring in your head.I especialy liked "a descreet conversation" and"raisin eyes" and"Yaadi' La'". If you have never been here it will take you there. Includes some parts of peoms in Navajo. Sa ah Naaghai Bik'eh Hozho
