Navajo and the Animal People [PDF ebook] 

This text examines the traditional Navajo relationship to the natural world. Specifically, how the tribe once related to the Animal People, and particularly a category of animals, which they collectively referred to as the naatl’ eetsoh – the "ones who hunt." These animals, like Native Americans, were once viewed as impediments to progress requiring extermination.
