PART 1. THE COMMUNITY 



BACKGROUND 



The far northwestern reaches of the Navaho Indian Eeservation, 

 spanning the Arizona-Utah boundary east of the Colorado Eiver 

 and south of the San Juan, probably need little introduction for most 

 readers. Through the pages of Arizona Highways, The National 

 Geographic Magazine, and a host of other travel books and articles, 

 the region has become one of the best known, photographically, in 

 the Southwest. Outstanding attractions such as Monument Valley, 

 Rainbow Bridge, Navajo Mountain, Tsegi (or Segi, Sagi) Canyon, 

 and the spectacular Betatakm and Keet Seel cliff dwellings have re- 

 ceived a measure of nationwide recognition.
