NAVAJO SANDPAINTINGS
The saindpainting you see originates from Navajo healing ceremonies. In a ceremony that lasts several days, the medicine man builds a sandpainting and places the patient in the middle of it.
Sandpaintings are very detailed and colorful and each figure carries a special meaning. The designs are of many subjects familiar to the Navajo people. The most common figures in sandpaintings are yels (yays) oe Navajo holy people. Another frequently used design is the four sacred plants which are corn, beans, squash and tobacco. Other designs may be animals, plants, rainbows, lightening, or bows and arrows. Rocks are gathered from around the reservation and crushed into sand to produce the many colors used in the sandpaintings.
This amazingly detailed complex Navajo symbol of healing has been broadened into a unique art form to be appreciated by many.
