Summary: Interesting history in book, some songs sound alike
Comment: The book gives you a history of the Navajo people and customs, and their role in their lives. Much of the book concerns the woman who sang the songs on the CD, Marilyn Help,and her life as well as her reasons for the songs, most of which are not old but which she feels tell some story or teach a lesson. The last song, Go My Son, is the only one in English and is about the importance of gaining an education in todays world, another song, Kiizh (Spot)is a childrens song with a melody very recognizably based on a couple of nursery rhymes we've all heard. In the appendixes you'll find listings of pronunciation (translations of songs on the accompanying CD are within the revelant chapters), movements to perform while singing each song and bibliographies of books, recordings and a few videos. Not a great book/CD for the casual reader or listener but very interesting for those who know the people or the area.
