Scope and Content Collection consists of 11 letters from Monongye to Lem and Goldie Montaith in California. In the letters Monongye describes his recent activities and experiences.

Abstract This collection contains three volumes of a detailed manuscript written by George Peter Hammond entitled "Navajo-Hopi Relations," which addresses the history of these two tribes between 1540 and 1956. The subtext speaks to the role of the U.S. government and military, missionaries, and other tribes in those relations.
