"Navaho Houses" by Cosmos Mindeleff is a study of the homes built by the Navaho people in the late 1800s. It examines Navaho houses, called hogáns, as a central part of their culture. The analysis focuses on the different kinds of homes and how they connect to history. The initial sections shed light on how building methods are closely linked to the beliefs of the Navaho. There's also a hint that these old ways of building are starting to disappear because of modern changes. The work investigates a variety of structures, like winter houses and sweat lodges, showing how the environment and Navaho traditions shape their buildings. The book's main goal is to help people studying buildings, ancient history, and cultures understand Navaho houses and what they mean.
