The Hero Twins tells the story of two brothers born to Changing Woman and trained by the Holy People to save their people from the naay ‘, a race of monsters. But the naay ‘ can’t be beaten alone. Family and friends and wise mentors must lead any warrior down the good path toward victory. Colorful illustrations show the action as the twins seek out their father to receive the weapons they need to face the greatest monster of them all: Y ‘iitsoh.
Told in Navajo, the Din language, and English, this story exists in many versions, and all demonstrate the importance of thinking, patience, persistence, bravery, and reverence. These teachings still help the Din –and everyone–find the harmony of a balanced and braver life.
