AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source analyzes religious and economic behavior among the Navajos of Rimrock in light of Max Weber's famous thesis which hypothesizes a string correlation or correspondence between these two realms of activity. In particular, the author examines the behavior of Navajos who have been converted to various Mormon and Protestant sects and comapres it with that of 'traditionalist' Navajos.
