AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of the girl's puberty ceremony, the KINAALDA. Frisbie draws on her own observations, interviews, and recordings, as well as those other field workers and ethnographers. She fully describes two ceremonies that she observed and discusses the music, which is the prime focus of the study. She uses and compares music recorded in 1929, 1957, and 1963, and from different parts of Navajo country. She provides full musical script for many of the songs with words in Navajo and English.
