Close at the foot of a the high red cliffs of Pottery Butte is a Navajo hogan, a log and mud home like a brown beehive. This is where Dancing Cloud and his sister live with their family. 

Through the everyday life of these children---tending their flocks, shearing the sheep, weaving the blankets, adventuring among the buttes, listening to stories--a picture is created for children to understand the life of the Navajo.
