This compelling work by Stephen C. Jett offers a captivating exploration of the Navajo Nation’s relationship with the rugged landscapes they have called home for centuries. Jett, a renowned scholar of Native American studies, draws upon his deep understanding of Navajo culture and history to weave a rich tapestry of narratives that illuminate the profound spiritual and cultural significance of these “wildlands” to the Diné people. Through vivid descriptions and insightful analysis, Jett invites readers to journey across the vast and breathtaking vistas of the Navajo homeland, from the towering sandstone formations of Monument Valley to the winding canyons of the San Juan River. Along the way, he reveals the intricate web of stories, traditions, and ecological knowledge that have bound the Navajo to these lands “as long as the rivers shall run.” This volume is a must-read for anyone interested in the preservation of Native American heritage, environmental conservation, and the enduring power of place in shaping cultural identity.
