<br />BOOK REVIEW
<br />The Second Long Walk: the Navajo-Hopi Land Dispute. By JERRY KAMMER. The University of New Mexico Press,
<br />Albuquerque. 1980. Cloth, $14.95.
<br />The Second Long Walk deals with the highly controversial land dispute between the Navajo and Hopi Indian tribes. Kammer
<br />erroneously deals with the dispute as though it began with the founding of U.S. stewardship over the two tribes. It is actually a
<br />problem that goes back into the dim past as the early Athabascan raiders moved into an already settled Southwest. The irony is
<br />that the "Great White Father" inherited this complex and virtually insoluble problem, and has been maneuvered into solving it for
<br />better or worse.
<br />Kammer has definitely chosen sides -that of the Navajo. This only muddles the issue by implying that it is clear-cut and simple.
<br />If the issue was simple, the problem between the Navajo and Hopi would have been solved long before Whites invaded the area.
<br />The author uses interviews and government documents mixed with a journalistic style that suggests objectivity. He implies that
<br />Hopi tribal council members are the only people pushing for relocation of the Navajo families living on the disputed land. He
<br />implies that the rest of the Hopi people not only don't care, but are totally at odds with their tribal council. That the Hopi people
<br />don't care is an outright falsehood, and that they are at odds with their tribal council is only a part of the convoluted story of
<br />traditional versus progressive politics among the Hopi. He fails to even mention the almost identical political problems concerning
<br />the Navajo tribal council and its people.
<br />I would recommend this book to those who are already familiar with the Navajo-Hopi land dispute; there is much factual
<br />information to be gleaned from The Second Long Walk. I'm afraid, however, that in the long run this book will do more harm than
<br />good to those being exposed to the dispute for the first time. This is unfortunate, for there is an urgent need for a clear and objective
<br />documentation of this continuing and painful struggle. - Kit Schweitzer, Boulder, Colorado.
