Steeped in the lore of the Navajo reservation, where she worked as a teacher, the author came to see Navajo legend and ritual as touchstones for evaluating her own experience. She presents them here as a means for all people to locate their own history, traditions, and sense of how to live well.<p>&#147;To know the oral tradition of Native American people is to feel the sensitivity and sensuality of language in its clearest motion and light, and this Williams has achieved in her appreciation of that tradition.&#148;&#151;Simon Ortiz<p><i>Pieces of White Shell</i> is vibrant&#151;full of risk, gentleness, wonder, and humility.&#148;&#151;Barry Lopez<p>&#147;This book is both informative and enormously evocative. Exposition and description are powerfully reinforced by recurrent passages in the mode of poetry and drama.&#148;&#151;Brewster Ghiselin<br/><br/>Introduction to Navajo culture by a storyteller. 639371 1984 Pieces of White Shell total:51|5:15|4:23|3:10|2:2|1:1| 51 202 69 3 3 0 false false Fri Jan 30 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 13:08:36 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 13:10:05 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Sep 02 21:38:48 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 02 23:15:22 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Jun 12 15:29:10 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 12 15:29:53 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Oct 18 19:50:49 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 19:50:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 17 20:17:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 20:17:00 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 21 21:15:39 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 21:18:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 16 18:22:38 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 16 18:22:38 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sun Jul 05 14:23:04 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 14:23:04 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Sat Jun 13 09:01:30 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 09:01:30 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 29 04:46:50 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 04:46:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 27 14:55:47 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 14:55:55 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon May 04 11:34:52 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 11:34:52 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 30 22:24:33 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 22:24:33 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Apr 24 20:52:27 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 20:52:27 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Apr 12 07:56:49 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 12 07:56:49 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Mon Apr 06 12:27:05 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 12:27:10 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 28 00:37:25 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 00:37:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 24 15:46:25 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 15:46:34 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Mar 17 13:22:30 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 13:22:30 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Mar 10 08:31:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 08:31:00 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=653262
