Born in 1919, Holiday is a practicing traditional Navajo medicine man living in Monument Valley, Utah. Drawing on extensive interviews with Holiday, McPherson (College of Eastern Utah) presents an in depth account of Holiday’s life, from his early training along with his grandfather and other members of the family living within the high country desert of the Colorado Plateau, through years of interactions with whites within the early film making industry, within the Civilian Conservation Corps and the army all over the 1930s, and as a miner at the Navajo Reservation all over the 1950s. The second one half of the book features tribal and circle of relatives teachings passed down from generation to generation, and other lessons from up to date society.
