Navajo Stories of the Long Walk Period (Paperback)

Presented by Navajo narrators for the Navajo people, this collection of stories reflects the Navajo perception of Navajo history and the "Long Walk" to Fort Sumner, emphasizing Navajo insight rather than historical events placed in chronological sequence. Collectively, these 40 stories reflect the following Navajo perceptions: events recalled in vivid clarity are typically blurred in time and sequence; the unresolved dilemma of who should be blamed for the "Long Walk" is a central concern, but there is great inconsistancy regarding places, groups, or people blamed (unlike most nations, the Navajo frequently blame themselves rather than others); there are important insights into the Navajo interpretation of specific Navajo historical events which differ significantly from the views of an outsider (e.g., close identification of events with the Navajo religion; an extreme sense of isolation, wherein the Navajo perceive themselves as beset, besieged, and surrounded by enemies; indications that many Navajo never went to Fort Sumner and that some went to live with the Apache tribes to escape Fort Sumner; a recurring theme focused upon the relationship between the tragedy of the "Long Walk" and the current subjects of justice and human rights).

About us

The North American Native Authors Catalog (nativeauthors.com) specializes in work by American Indian poets, writers, historians, storytellers and performers. Our online catalog was the first of its kind when we launched in 1996, featuring more than 700 titles from over 90 different publishers, complete author bios, and tribal information. Our publications range from novels and books of poetry to children's literature, historical analysis, journals and newspapers, sacred traditions and more. Compact Disks (CDs), and Cassette tapes cover several of these areas, including traditional storytelling, poetry and Native American music. All books and tapes listed in this catalog are authored or co-authored by people of Native American ancestry. This catalog grew our of the Native American Authors Distribution Project, which has been selling books at Northeastern Pow Wows, book fairs, and by direct mail since 1980.

In 1992, we helped put together Returning the Gift, a gathering of Native American writers held at the University of Oklahoma. Returning the Gift, the first major meeting of Native American writers ever held, brought together more than 200 Native authors from across the continent. Most of the authors who participated have publications found in this online catalog, and more will appear in the future.

The overall goal of the North American Native Authors Online Catalog is to increase the distribution of creative work by Native writers, and to raise public awareness of the range, strength, and beauty of contemporary Native American writing, research, storytelling, and performance.

The North American Native Authors Catalog is a project of the Greenfield Review Press, a Native owned and managed 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The Greenfield Review distributes and has published many of the works included in this catalog, in addition, a percentage of proceeds are used to support Native American cultural and literary foundations, including, but not limited to the Returning the Gift Project and the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers... more info
