The book is divided into two parts, the first of which introduces the reader to the Navajo culture and history, as well as the role of chant ceremonies in Navajo life. The second part of the book offers a detailed description of four different Navajo chants, including the Night Chant, the Mountain Chant, the Shooting Chant, and the Enemy Way Chant. Each chapter provides a thorough explanation of the chant's purpose, structure, and symbolism, as well as an account of the behaviors observed during the ceremony. The book also includes photographs and illustrations to help readers visualize the chants and their associated rituals.
