The article doesn't state clearly what is fact and what is myth: do some of these witches actually exist or is it only accusations of witchery that actually exist? 41.219.31.166 ( talk) 10:55, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Please don't anyone come (as someone did on the Skin-walker entry) and say "there's no such thing as a witch in Native America," and say that a Yee naaldlooshii was "called a Navajo witch by outsiders." Really? Because most of the Navajos I went to school with believe in witches, and they call them witches (when speaking English), and if you look at what they're talking about, it's, um, yeah, pretty much witches. There's extensive literature on witch-beliefs among the Navajo, and witch is the only term for it.
Just in case someone does argue this same thing--just ask them why this little book was published by a community college run by the Navajo Nation.
Yeah, and if they don't believe this is a real book just have 'em look it up in:
It's like a mini-Salem witch trial right smack in the Navajo rez! Asdzani Bah 08:04, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
There is no reason to have corpse powder a seprate article, as it is wholly used by Navajo witches. It makes more sense for the material at that article to be a section here in this one. -- 208.81.184.4 ( talk) 01:41, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
I propose that Witch (Navajo) be merged into Witch. The current article does not have enough citations to stand on its own. Wikipedia does not focus on original research, which is what much of this article is. Intellectually, this article doesn't have a strong foundation.
