TI  - Jesus, peyote, and the holy people: alcohol abuse and the ethos of power in 
      Navajo healing.
PG  - 521-42
AB  - Of the three religious healing traditions that coexist within the contemporary 
      Navajo health care system, the Native American Church (NAC) and Pentecostal 
      Christianity are more actively involved in the treatment of alcohol and substance 
      abuse than is Traditional Navajo healing. This article examines these two more 
      recent healing traditions as religious responses to the contemporary Navajo 
      crisis of alcohol and substance abuse as well as to socioeconomic changes. These 
      traditions offer new kinds of power, social networks, and personal meaning that 
      facilitate a transformation of self, a revitalized sense of community, and a new 
      vision of the possibilities of the future for Navajo people who suffer. Examining 
      the ethos of power that underlies Navajo healing can complement the theoretical 
      emphasis on harmony and beauty in anthropological research on Navajo culture and 
      religion.
