From the Glittering World - A Navajo Story

The Dine, or Navajo, creation story says there were four worlds before this, the Glittering World. For the present-day Dine this is a world of glittering technology and influences from outside the sacred land entrusted to them by the Holy People. From the Glittering World conveys in vivid language how a contemporary Dine writer experiences this world as a mingling of the profoundly traditional with the sometimes jarringly, sometimes alluringly new.
