Jim Chee is one of two Navajo Tribal Police detectives in a series of mystery novels by Tony Hillerman.

The Blessing Way is a crime novel by American writer Tony Hillerman, the first in the Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee Navajo Tribal Police series.

Joe Leaphorn is a member of the Navajo Tribal Police (now Navajo Nation Police) Educated in assimilationist Indian boarding schools operated by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, he is not as well versed in Navajo rituals, though he has attended the usual ceremonies. He is fluent in Navajo and in English.
Map of the Navajo Nation. Spider Woman's Daughter is a crime novel by American writer Anne Hillerman, released in 2013. It is the first Leaphorn/Chee mystery written by her, the daughter of the series originator Tony Hillerman. The title of the book is derived from Native American legends.
And in this book, the author continues to prove himself one of the nation's most convincing and authentic interpreters of Navajo culture, as well as one of our best and most innovative modern mystery writers. Mr. Hillerman's Navajos are at once a part of their own tribal heritage and also well assimilated into the dominant culture.
