The collection features songs, stories, chants, and orations from the four major language groups of the Southwest: Yuman, Nad ne (Apachean), Uto-Aztecan, and Kiowa-Tanoan. It combines translations of recordings made in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with a rich array of newly recorded and produced materials, attesting to the continued vitality and creativity of contemporary Native languages in the Southwest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor southwestern linguistic and cultural traditions to be more widely recognized and appreciated, retranslations of older works have been sorely needed. Original translations were often flawed and culturally biased and made use of literary conventions that were familiar to Anglo-Americans but foreign to the Native tribes themselves. \u003ci\u003eInside Dazzling Mountains\u003c\/i\u003e corrects these flaws and celebrates the diversity of Native languages spoken in the Southwest today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkillfully edited and translated by David L.
