AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The authors present a classification scheme for Navajo song ceremonials. This scheme is correlated to the purpose of and etiological factors associated with each ceremony. Particularly useful is the attention given to variation and the insights about how ritual elements are transferable between ceremonies. Basically a descriptive article, the paper also has utility for understanding the basis of Navajo curing practices.
