Dork Whitesinger was a member of the Manygoats clan. His ancestors lived in Kaibeto up until about 80 or 90 years ago, when they moved to the Cow Springs area. Mr. Whitesinger has cared for his sheep and trained horses throughout his lifetime. He has been a medicine man, specializing in herb medicine. He was born in 1913, and had seen changes in the basic beliefs of Navajos. In the mid-1970’s he felt that there was little respect for Navajo religion and for the older Navajo people. He foresees hardships and troubled times to come. He was determined to pass on the Navajo beliefs to his children and grandchildren in order to prepare them for the future.
