THE PINTO BEANS pushed up through the earth and the peaches began to swell. Wool from the shearing was stored away for winter weaving. My father went into the mountains and brought back deer meat which we cut into strips and dried. It was a good summer and a good autumn.

Then early one winter morning three Long Knives came. They were from the white man's fort and they brought a message from their chief. When all of our people were gathered in the meadow one of the soldiers read the message, using Navaho words. He read fast and did not speak clearly, but this is what I remember.

People of the Navaho Tribe are commanded to

take their goods and leave Canyon de Chelly.
