The Navajo’s Tragedy by Ruth Falkenburg Kirk
National Chairman of Indian Welfare for the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, and Chairman of the State Board of the New Mexico Department of Public Welfare
Softcover, staple bound, reprint of pages 176-181 from The Chicago Jewish Forum, a National Quarterly Magazine, Volume 6, No. 3, Spring, 1948
This is Kirk’s dire report on the status of the Navajo of the Southwest regarding their lives, living conditions, health, income, and the government’s history of treatment of them. It is their status in 1948 when this was written. It seems appropriate to read this today with the Covid-19 tragedies that are currently affecting the Navajo.
