            In 1953, Drs. Norman and Gilda Greenberg accepted positions with the Bureau of Indian Affairs in New Mexico, where they established a government school for Navajo non-English speaking children. Since that time they have been invited to serve in positions as professors of psychology (Gilda) and anthropology (Norman) at major universities. Their interest in the culture of Native American’s led them to actively collect, and they have amassed a large and impressive body of work.
