Becoming Hataalii.
Jim, Rex Lee, Ed.; And Others
Journal of Navajo Education, v13 n3 p11-14 Spr 1996
Four hataalii (Navajo medicine men) discuss why they chose and how they studied their profession, how ceremonies correct spiritual imbalance, why ceremonies cannot be done for non-Indians (differences in Navajo and non-Navajo belief systems), and how the Native American Church was founded to allow legal use of peyote and was commercialized by insertion of Christianity.
