The Anglos and the Mormons Come to Ramah.
Martinez, Sampson; Cummings, Tom
Written by a 1975 high school graduate and a curriculum specialist, this monograph briefly describes the history of Ramah, New Mexico. Presenting the Navajo point of view, emphasis is on the socioeconomic influence of the Mormons and the Texas (Anglo) ranchers who settled in the Ramah area. Particular attention is given to: (1) land acquisition; (2) trading posts and the concept of "credit"; (3) Federal Government land allotments; (4) the Bureau of Indian Affairs and boarding schools; (5) the development of the Ramah Navajo (all Indian) School Board; and (6) the value of education and law to the Ramah Navajo.
