Native Roads: The Complete Motoring Guide to the Navajo and Hopi Nations, Newly Revised Edition - Softcover
Synopsis
"Native Roads should be in the vehicle of everyone who does any driving around in what we call Indian Country."—Tony Hillerman
This revised and updated guide provides all the essential information travelers need to explore the spectacular buttes and secret canyons of the Navajo and Hopi Nations (together they cover an area bigger that Maine). Native Roads is packed with detailed maps, points of interest, landmarks, and even tips on culturally sensitive etiquette. Here's where to find Navajo and Hopi hospitality in fine restaurants and lodgings, and also where to witness ancient cultures vibrantly alive in the modern world. 100 black-and-white photographs and illustrations"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review
Some Arizona books have these large sections dotted off--the Indian reservations the authors think you needn't know about--but this book takes you there. It's informed, pragmatic, and refreshingly free of hype. The "Important Things to Know" chapter includes Navajo creation stories along with health precautions and how to buy a Navajo rug. From Four Corners National Monument to the Grand Canyon, Fran Kosik gives needed survival advice on motels, camping, restaurants (and gas stations, which aren't as plentiful as you may think), interspersed with scholarly archeological, geographical anthropological information, and sensitive attention to the people who still live there.
About the Author
Fran Kosik has lived in and traveled throughout the Navajo and Hopi Nations for more than 30 years. A registered nurse with an M.A. in public health, Kosik now lives in Flagstaff, Arizona, with her husband and daughter.
