DESCRIPTIONS

The Earth Surface People, the final work in this trilogy, provides teachings about Navajo life from cradleboard to grave. Central to all is achieving “Long Life, Happiness” as one moves through various stages of existence. The second half of this book examines thoughts concerning the organization of the human body, sickness, western medicine, and death, all of which are part of the Pollen Path. How one walks this trail to his or her final destination is measured by one’s ability to live through its teachings. The four sacred directions with their associated powers are essential to earth life as outlined through ceremonies and daily practices. Here, one moves on a journey from teachings of the past to issues of the present. This volume is extremely helpful for youth to understand life values and the importance of identity. It serves as a reminder for adults of the enabling power of traditional culture. —Clayton Long, a participant and creator of the Navajo Rosetta Stone; bilingual education director (retired) for the San Juan School District, Utah; and curriculum developer for the Navajo Nation
