"Navaho Legends" by Washington Matthews is a collection of folklore and stories written in the late 19th century. This work captures the rich tradition of the Navaho people, including their myths, origin stories, and cultural practices. The book offers insights into the spirituality, history, and daily lives of the Navaho Indians, making it a valuable resource for those interested in Native American culture and literature. The opening of "Navaho Legends" sets the stage for a deep exploration of the Navaho tribe, providing a comprehensive introduction to their geography, social structure, and cultural practices. Matthews begins by describing the physical landscape of the Navaho homeland, noting its arid conditions and unique farming practices. He highlights the tribe's intricate systems of governance, kinship, and spiritual beliefs, emphasizing the importance of storytelling and ritual in their culture. The preface serves not only to inform readers about the legends themselves but also to enhance understanding by giving context to the Navaho way of life that these stories emerge from.
