Ákó Hoo T’’éé Ñt’’éé’’: That’’s the Way It Used to Be

Although, by necessity, Barbara Anderson now lives in Glendale, Arizona, she explains to Westerners that she grew up in northern New York, almost in Canada. To Easterners, she explains that she has lived in northern Arizona. She claims that both locales define her. Probably the weekly letters she wrote home from isolated Ganado to rural Gouverneur fostered her conviction that no great experience was quite finished until she wrote about it. She holds a B. A. from Cornell University and an M.A. from Northern Arizona University. She found great satisfaction in teaching and living with another culture.
