Scattered Round Stones: A Mayo Village in Sonora, Mexico

David Yetman

Univ. Of New Mexico Press

This is a book about anthropology &amp; particularly about doing fieldwork among the Navajo. It is ultimately a book about knowing &amp; thinking about people &amp; their experiences, but at its most basic level it is a book of stories about some Navajo people, their families, &amp; some of their experiences. To introduce these stories, the author tells us a good deal about his own experiences in his profession, anthropology. When he is talking about Navajo people we experience their humanity &amp; his, all of it in a remarkably direct prose style. An incredibly powerful book that is also a critique of contemporary American society &amp; Western thought.

Ornamental tinwork folk art originated in the mid-1800s in New Mexico. As an increasing number of food products shipped in tin cans arrived over the Santa Fe Trail, more materials were available to the area's tinsmiths. They used their skills on tins that once held such products as lard, kerosene, and oysters. The finished products were as unlimited as the creativity of the makers, from candle sconces to picture frames to mirrors to nichos and religious icons to children's toys.
Lane Coulter and Maurice Dixon, Jr., begin with a brief history of New Mexican tinwork and quickly describe the tools and techniques used and how to determine the period in which older pieces were made.

In this collection of reminiscences Father Berard Haile relates his experiences as a missionary to the Navajo Indians. Posted to St. Michael's Mission in 1900, Haile devoted the next half century to the study of Navajo language and culture and considered the study of indigenous peoples at least as important as proselytizing. During his long career, Haile published numerous pathbreaking works on Navajo linguistics and ethnography. He tiled in 1961, one of the most respected students of Navajo culture. In these stories Haile recalls bear hunting, baseball, Navajo and Hopi ceremonialism, the first car on the reservation, St. Michael's Press, traders, Chinle and Lukachukai, and other people, places, and events on the reservation. Eight appendices reprint hard-to-find articles by Halle and other Franciscans on the Navajos. Bodo's transcriptions retain the color and flavor of the oral accounts, and his introduction discusses Haile as a missionary and anthropologist.
