Abstract
This is an excellent srudy of the Navajo in the early to mid-twentieth century. The book was undertaken as part of the Indian Education Research Project to compare personality development in five American tribes to help evaluate the Government Indian Administration. This book 'deals primarily with the situational and cultural context of Navajo life.' A companion volume 'Children of The People' deals with personality formation.
