| Description |
Color photograph of a Navajo woman and child on a blanket where the sand paintings used to be, eating food from a woven basket. Navajo people believe the universe to be delicately balanced. Only man can upset it, causing disaster and/or illness. Each illness or disaster has a particular part that is related to a portion of Navajo history. Balance is restored in the universe by healing the offender with changes, herbs, prayers, songs and sand paintings |
