Answer to Question 1

 Navajo are the largest Native-American tribe, descended from the Athabascan-speaking, nomadic hunters.
 The Navajo live on a reservation 25,000 square miles in area, located in parts of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah (see map, WOM, Figure 2.7, page 51).
 Their livelihood is based on farming, raising stock, weaving, and silversmithing with government relief and other income from natural resources.
 Navajo homes range from modern ranch houses to one-room houses, with circular floor plans being preferred.
 While a lot of traditional Navajo culture remains, new ideas have brought much change to Navajo life.

Answer to Question 2

 Folsom Prison Blues is in an obvious (Western-culture) meterduple
(two-beat  1 2  1 2  . . .) or quadruple (four-beat  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4 . . .), depending on how you are countingeither a slow duple or a fast quadruple.
 Previous selections in the chapter have had an absence of meter. (See also Question 9.)
