In these compelling, multi-generational oral histories collected by Kathy Eckles Hooker, women talk about their experiences in their own words. As they do, their faces are captured in defining portraits by photographer David Young-Wolff, whose evocative portraits demonstrate the insights gleaned from his 45-year career as one of America’s top producers of stock and portrait photography. 

Nona Scott, Daisy Scott-Dover, Deanna Dover

Along with the women’s stories are informative chapters about Navajo history and culture, including the coming-of-age ceremony (kinaaldá), Changing Woman, the Long Walk, education, and the importance of sheep to Navajo lifeways.
