This cultural conflict arose due to the clash between the traditional beliefs and practices of the Navajo people and the Western values and ideologies brought by the U.S. government. The U.S. government saw Navajo witchcraft as a superstitious practice that hindered the assimilation and progress of the Navajo people. They believed that by eradicating witchcraft, they could modernize and civilize the Navajo population. However, this opinion was met with resistance from the Navajo people who saw witchcraft as an integral part of their cultural identity and spirituality. The purification process involved the identification and punishment of individuals suspected of practicing witchcraft. The Navajo people were subjected to harsh interrogations and forced to renounce their beliefs in witchcraft. In some cases, those accused of witchcraft were incarcerated and subjected to physical and psychological abuse in an attempt to coerce them into abandoning their practices. The Navajo people, resisting the efforts of the U.S. government, sought to preserve their cultural heritage and protect their traditional practices. They viewed witchcraft as a crucial aspect of their identity and spirituality, essential for maintaining a harmonious relationship with the natural world and the spiritual realm. The conflict and efforts to purify Navajo witches in 1878 highlights the clash between cultural beliefs and the imposition of Western values. The Navajo people's fight to preserve their traditions and resist forced assimilation demonstrates the resilience and strength of their cultural identity. Despite the attempts to eradicate witchcraft, the Navajo people continue to practice their traditional beliefs, keeping their cultural heritage alive..

As an avid reader of historical fiction, I was excited to read "Purification of Navajo Witches in 1878". However, I was ultimately let down by this novel. The pacing was slow, and the story failed to captivate my interest. The representation of Navajo culture felt superficial and stereotypical, with little effort put into understanding or exploring the nuances of the tribe's practices. Furthermore, some of the dialogue felt forced and unnatural. While the idea behind the book was promising, the execution fell short for me.
