Abstract
The bulk of this source is text and translation but there are 70 pages of introduction and explanatory notes which are very informative. This explanatory section has been included in entirety, but only the first four legends in the succeeding pages have been included as a sample. Each page of English text in the legend section is found facing a page of Navajo text which has not included. For this section, see the book, pages 77-245. Some Enemy Way Songs that are included in an appendix in Navajo and English have not been included.
