Duke Navaho Bead Chant

The reels are labelled "Herzog Navaho Bead Chant" and "Herzog Navaho Songs I - III". It is not clear whether the 3 "Navaho Songs" rolls belong to the "Bead Chant" collection. Galvanisation and production of copies was paid for by Mrs. Mary Wheelwright. The rolls (54 + 3) were sent to Berlin and inventoried as FE 8. Extensive correspondence with Mrs Wheelright is available. According to the correspondence, copies of the Galvanos were sent to: American Museum of Natural History (New York), Bureau of American Ethnology (Washington), Mr Kenneth Chapman (Santa Fe) and Dr Sapir, Dept. of Anthropology, University of Chicago. Copies of the collection are now in Washington (cf. FCP:75), where they are labelled "Bead Way Chant". Texts and transcriptions are in Herzog's estate in the USA. (where ?)
