Before speaking about this novel, I need to say a few words about the history and present circumstances of the Navajos, those who call themselves Dine', a word meaning "The People."
Ethnologists tells us that the distant ancestors of the Navajos came into the Southwest 1,000 or more years ago. That may be so, for their language links them with the Athabaskan people of Alaska. The Navajos themselves say that they emerged into this world from a hole in the earth and that this world is only one of a number they have lived on until catastrophic events forced them to leave.
