Additional Details:
When a traveler journeys on the Santa Fe to Hopiland, in Arizona, he crosses a portion of the Navaho reservation, one of the largest in the United States, and containing about 28,000 Indians. The Navaho has been called the Bedouin of the Desert. He is a true nomad and does not live in a village or pueblo but wanders here and there as suits his fancy, tending his flocks of sheep, weaving blankets or fashioning crude yet beautiful ornaments from coin silver. In appearance the Navaho is tall, rather slender and extremely agile
