The legend of the Eagle-catching-way was recounted by Pete Price of Fort Defiance, Arizona, in explanation of the origin of ritual and methods employed by the Navajo in the pit-trapping of eagles2 The informant designated the myth as part of the Beadway, and this is confirmed by the parallelisms which appear in the published legends of that ritual.3 It is interesting to note in this connection evidence of the stability of Navajo religious pattern. The following account and Matthews', recorded sixty years before, show almost complete identity
