AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The major theme of this work is the use of land by Navajo families which is best understood in relation to political and economic forces that have provided the tribe with certain lands, or have deprived them of it. These same forces have also encouraged and influenced Navajo families to make a living from the land in various ways (e. g., farming and stockraising). This study analyzes and describes historical changes in family land use, based on the economic and political factors which have been instrumental in bringing these changes about (p. 2).
