A fresh approach to the analysis of Navajo Indian mythology. Luckert is concerned with the historicity, the relationship of Gameways to other aspects of Navajo ceremonialism, specifically the healing chantways, and other theoretical aspects of the Navajo hunter tradition. This work is a sound presentation of materials, analysis, and theorizing for the use of anthropologists, folklorists, and students of the history of religion."" - Leland C. Wyman
