Description

Exploring the horse’s importance in ceremonies, songs, prayers, customs and beliefs, this title investigates the period of the horse’s pronounced cultural impact on the Navajo and the Apache, starting from the time of its acquisition from the Spanish in the 17th century and to the mid-1960s, when the pickup truck began to replace it.
