Produktinformationen zu „Navajo Origin Legend (ePub)“
Alexander MacGregor Stephen was a Scottish mining prospector trained in metallurgy at the university of Edinburgh. When he emigrated from Scotland to the United States he enlisted in the New York Militia during the Civil War. Afterwards, he prospected in search of the lost Merit silver mine in Nevada and Utah during the 1870s. From 1880-1894 it is not known whether Stephen lived with Thomas Keam, owner of a trading post, at his canyon ranch or at various places on the Hopi mesas. He did spend a decade building relationships with the Navajo and Hopi learning their language and their culture and recording it in what he considered an unbiased manner.
In 1894, Stephen came down with influenza while living with the Hopi. The disease had already spread through the mesas. Stephen believed that he was being punished for secretly observing burial customs and then joking about them. He died shortly therafter. Keam erected monument at the canyon ranch in honor of him.
Stephen's essay Navajo Origin Legend was published in 1930 on the Journal of American Folk-Lore. It constitutes one of the most important testimonies of the mythology and ancient traditions of the Navajo people.
