Waters is a versatile writer whose life worknovels, biographies, ethnological and historical studieshas always centered on the land, people, and spirit of the American West. A primary theme is the relationship of people to the land, particularly as evidenced in the respective cultures and behaviors of the white man and the Indian, brought out in depictions of Pueblo, Navaho, and Hopi tribes, their rituals and mythologies. Other themes include the dualities in human nature and the evolution of human consciousness. Selections (based on a course the compiler has taught for a decade) include extracts from The Man Who Killed the Deer, The Colorado, Book of the Hopi, and others.
