Navajo Shepherd And Weaver is a book written by Gladys A. Reichard that explores the traditional way of life of the Navajo people. The book is a detailed account of the customs, beliefs, and practices of Navajo shepherds and weavers, as observed by the author during her fieldwork in the 1930s.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the life of a Navajo shepherd. Reichard provides a comprehensive description of the Navajo sheep industry, including the breeding and care of sheep, the production of wool and other by-products, and the role of sheep in Navajo culture and spirituality.The second part of the book is dedicated to Navajo weaving, which is considered one of the most important and distinctive art forms of the Navajo people. Reichard describes the various types of weaving techniques, patterns, and designs used by Navajo weavers, and provides insights into the cultural significance of weaving in Navajo society.Overall, Navajo Shepherd And Weaver is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Navajo culture and history, and provides a unique perspective on the traditional way of life of the Navajo people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
