For more generations than va

remember there has been
tribal taboo against killing bears
Every good Navajo has been brought
up TO believe that when his grand
mother dies her spirit takes up earthly
residence inside the body of bear.
There's no white mans law against
a Navajo shooting bear, in season,
but it's almost impossible TO squeeze
the trigger when you have the fear
that you may be numbering your own
grandmother. Or arouSing the wrath
of the gods who dwell in the Happy
Hunting Ground.
That's why the Indians sent out a
call for white hunters to save their
sheep and their corn
Among Redmen, as with their pale
faced friends, there are ways of get
ting around the law In this case,
the Navajos let it be known that they
would give able and enthusiastic as
sistance to the white hunters. They'd
track the beasts. And tree them.
They'd even instruct any amateur
gunners in the art of finishing off a
bear with single well-placed shot.
Everything is hotsy-totsy with the
ghostly grandmas and the Indians
gods, so long as the deadly slug isn't
fired by Navajo.
Once in while a Navajo is forced
TO kill bear in self-defense, or to
save one of his cronies from being
