Navajo Tradition, Mormon Life: The Autobiography and Teachings of Jim Dandy

Beschreibung

Born in the early 1940s in northern Arizona's high country desert, Jim Dandy began life imbued with the traditions of the Navajo people. Jim has led a life of service and teaching. He maintains the traditional philosophy with which he was raised and the Mormon beliefs that he learned and continues to follow; his life reflects the values inherent in these two different worlds. Readers interested in Navajo philosophy will find his blend of these two distinct views fascinating.
