United Methodist
Women
on Nay(]o
[gjiaj’roups
Dr. Paul Bennett spoke
Indians at the Faith and A1
of the First United Methodist Church
meeting held Monday, March 10. The
UMW have been studying native
Americans during this year’s
meetings.
Dr. Bennett served on a health
team in 1969 on an Indian reservation
in the northeast portion of Arizona.
Approximately 130,000 Navajo In-
dians lived in the Monument Valley
area in which DryBennett served.
He told the gToqp that a small
hospital provided ^he, only care
available in the immediate^rea and
was run by the Seventh D3v Ad-
ventist Church.
The Navjoes, who migrated from
Alaska, lived a deprived and difficult
life, Bennett said. The average in-
come for a family was approximately
$365 a year, and they depended
primarily on sheep herding for their
livelihood. The Navajo women wove
some blankets for sale, but the profits
were meager, he added.
The Nava joes housing consisted
mostly of the traditional hogan which
is made of logs and banked around
the sides with soil, Bennett said. No
windows and poor ventilation con-
tributed to dysetery and a high in-
cidence of tuberculosis. However,
there were almost no cases of heart
attack or cancer, he said.
Bennett’s lecture on the Navajoes,
whose religion w'as based on a belief'
in a supreme being and a life of
harmony with their environment,
was enhanced with color slides he had
taken in the area.
Mrs. Eddie Jo Edge presented
Bennett with a gift of appreciation for
his contribution to the group's study.
