A word from Chris James
    So Eli was of mixed blood, and although his sisters were more like his mother, he mirrored his father's proud native heritage. His friends in Yuma knew of his mixed parentage and many of them were much the same. Being a Begay[1] made it easier to get along with the local natives, many of whom were Apache, with a few Navajo like himself thrown into the mix.
    Follow along in this self-discovery story set in the mid-west as Eli discovers Eli.
    [1] Diné (Navajo) people did not traditionally have family names. Instead they were identified with a personal name and the name of ones mother’s maternal clan (born to Black Rock). The name of the person’s father’s clan is the clan one is “born for”—-born for Red Forehead).
