He documented aspects of Navajo religion and related ceremonial practices. He was also a master weaver. ==Background== Hosteen Klah, also spelled Hastiin Klah, was born in 1867 at Bear Mountain, near Fort Wingate, New Mexico. His name essentially means Sir Left Handed in Navajo; in his youth, he was called Ahway Eskay (). Hoksay Nolyae was his father and Ahson Tsosie, of the Clan, was his mother.〔Lapahie, Harrison, Jr. (Hosteen Klah (Sir Left Handed). ) ''Lapahie.com.'' 2001 (retrieved 19 Oct 2009)〕 Klah was born after the Navajos’ return to their homelands from forced government internment at Bosque Redondo. Klah avoided attending government school;〔Berlo and Philips, 34〕 rather, he received training in the traditionally male realm of ceremonial practices (chanting and sandpainting) from his uncle. While most individuals master only one or two complete chants, Klah mastered at least eight. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hosteen Klah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
