- Summary
- Retells in Navajo and English the story of the two sons of Changing Woman and the Sun, who overcome many dangers to protect their people from the monsters who attack them. The Hero Twins tells the story of two brothers born to Changing Woman and trained by the Holy People to save their people from the naayeÌeÌ', a race of monsters. But the naayeÌeÌ' can't be beaten alone. Family and friends and wise mentors must lead any warrior down the good path toward victory. Colorful illustrations show the action as the twins seek out their father to receive the weapons they need to face the greatest monster of them all: YeÌ'iitsoh. Told in Navajo, the DineÌ language, and English, this story exists in many versions, and all demonstrate the importance of thinking, patience, persistence, bravery, and reverence. These teachings still help the DineÌ--and everyone--find the harmony of a balanced and braver life
