6—WHIRLING LOG (GOOD LUCK)
SAND PAINTING OF THE NAVAJO INDIANS
The Navajo Indians have an elaborate nine
day ceremony, the Yebashi, in which a sand
painting is made daily and according to their
religion each one must be destroyed before
sunset, otherwise it would be a very bad
omen.
These are made by qualified Medicine Men
in which many colors of sands are used,
ground from colored rock. The "Whirling Log
sand painting is one of the very important of
a group and is said to bring good fortune.
