From publisher: A part Otomi Indian from Mexico was adopted into the Navajo tribe at sixteen. He learned sandpainting from the medicine men who painted loosely on the ground, to be destroyed within a twelve hour period. He explains the inner meaning of some 30 sandpaintings such as Whirling Rainbows and Big Thunder. Sixteen of the sandpaintings have color plates. ; 0.3 x 8.52 x 5.5 Inches; 112 pages; Signed by Author
