What is the significance of referring to Navajo religion as a “place-based” tradition? What is the religious significance of the land for the Diné?
Why do you suppose that some Diné prefer to refer to their “way of life” rather than their “religion”? How is the term “religion” useful in this case, and how is it reductive or misleading?
How do the concepts of hocho and hozho interact with each other in Diné life and thought? Are they opposites? What practices do the Diné use to move from disharmony to harmony?
What roles do the Holy People play in Diné creation stories and ceremonies? Why does this chapter refer to them as “superbeings” rather than “gods”?
The First Amendment is said to secure the right to religious liberty for U.S. citizens. Why does this constitutional right seem to fail so often when it comes to lands held sacred by Native nations? Why did the courts rule against the Navajo in the controversial Snowbowl case?
