Masked Gods: Navaho and Pueblo Ceremonialism (image)

Masked Gods: Navaho and Pueblo Ceremonialism
by Frank Waters. Foreword by Clyde Kluckhohn.
New York: Ballantine Books, 1970 (Ballantine Walden Edition).
Paperback.
"Masked Gods is a vast book, a challenging and profoundly original account of the history, legends, and ceremonialism of the Navaho and Pueblo Indians of the Southwest. Following a brief but vivid history of the two tribes through the centuries of conquest, the book turns inward to the meaning of Indian legends and rituals : Navaho sings, Pueblo dances, Zuni kachina ceremonies. Enduring still, these rituals and ceremonies express a view of life, of man's place in the creation, which is compared with Taoism and Buddhism, and with the aggressive individualism of the Western world. (...) Frank Waters (1902-1995), one of the finest chroniclers of the American Southwest, wrote twenty-eight works of fiction and nonfiction."
