Abstract

This paper focuses on the relationship between Navajo traditional cultural values and history and the problems associated with women battering on the Navajo Reservation. The author argues that public policy regarding the problem of women battering must take into consideration the history and cultural traditions of the victims, batterers, and those in a position to help them. With this understanding, it may be possible to develop more effective means of resolving the problem among discrete groups of people.
