Reviews for The Navajo as Seen by the Franciscans, 1920-1950. A Sourcebook.
This book is part of the Native American Resources Series and has a distinguished advisory board of scholars in American Indian studies, most of whom are American Indians. This is reassuring in terms of accuracy and significance, particularly in this volume which raises critical questions....These records provide absolutely engrossing reading and make a significant historical contribution.
