Pilgrimage to Spider Rock:
"This magical place, according
to Navajo Legend, was the home of Spider Woman, who gave the gift of weaving
to the Dineh' People. Today's Navajos trace the excellence of their finest textiles to this
time of legends, when their patron, Changing Woman, met Spider Woman,
the first Weaver."
Vine Deloria Jr.,
Evolution, Creationism,
and Other Modern Myths:
"The continuing struggle between evolutionists and creationists, a hot
political topic for the past four decades, took a new turn in the
summer of 1999 when the Kansas Board of Education voted to omit the
mention of evolution in its newly approved curriculum, setting off
outraged cries of foul by the scientific establishment. Don
Quixotes on both sides mounted their chargers and went searching for
windmills."

Shifting pattern
