AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of 275 Navajos living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, during the period of the author's residency there from July 1959 to June 1961. Using these Navajos as a basis for his study, the author attempts to examine some of the reasons why residence for some of this group has been permanent while for others it has not. In his analysis, the author defines a permanent resident Navajo as one who not only resides in the city, but who also has decided to remain in the city and prefers the city to the reservation. On the other hand, a non-permanent resident Navajo is one who although residing in the city, considers his stay there only temporary, and prefers the reservation to the city (p. 1-B). Hodge divides this non-resident group into traditional and Anglo-modified (acculturated) Navajo. A number of hypotheses are offered in this source which guide the study and organize supporting comparative material relevant to its central theme. Of the 275 Navajos available, sixteen adult males were selected for intensive study. This sample represents the range of Navajo types in Albuquerque, in terms of permanent vs. non-permanent (traditional and Anglo-modified) residency. From this group three were chosen as examples for extensive biographical consideration -- John Powell, as a permanent resident; Joseph Sandoval, traditional; and Joseph Barnes, as Anglo-modified.
