About this title

Synopsis

Pghootographer-author LeRoy DeJolie describes and shows his homeland as not onlya a ruggedly beautiful territory in the Four Corners region of Arizona but also as a aprt of h is heritage and culture. His photos and storeis of the Navajo way of lefe are intertwined as surely as strands of a rope. The books is richly illustrated with full-color landscape photography and tells stories about the ancient ways and beliefs of the Navajo people. Noting that DeJolie focuses on a Holy Land, Tonny Hillerman compares the Navajo Creation Story with the Bible's Book of Genesis.

About the Author

I see my work more as a mission than a job, says LeRoy DeJolie. It is my lifetime ambition to help preserve the heritage our Navajo ancestors desired for succeeding generations - a heritage that intertwines with the land. For many of oru people, that heritage is vanishing from their lives and memories as they are swept into the more cominant culturues aroud us.
