Original Wraps. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 49 pp., illustrations. A fine privately printed copy. Throughout the Navaho area the dance is known to white residents as the squaw dance. Possibly they have followed the American trend of mind to look upon any Indian woman or female as a squaw, because Massachusetts Indians called them so. The Navahos do not use the word squaw, but plainly speak of the "girls dance" and that always means unmarried girls. This then is the narrative of this misconception. Interesting, enlightening reading!
