The Navajo woman, who has made her tribe the most famous of all liv- {ng Indian races by means of her great and excellent invention, the Navajo blanket, occuples a social position of great Independence.

A woman nay bave hundreds of sheep when she marries, and not one be- comes the property of her husband. Descent is traced through the female line. It is a survival of the primitive matriarehnts, The Navajo woman has no perma- nent home. The progress of the tribe has been greatly impeded by its dark superstition that every death is caused by Chinde, the devil, and that evil spirits linger about the dead body.
