Butterfly:
Due to the natural beauty of its wings, Butterfly is often considered vain. Yet,
in Navajo mythology, Butterfly brings the sacred flint to the hooves of the horse.
In the legend of the diety, Butterfly Boy was cured of his vanity by being lightning
struck with the axe of Rain Boy. After that, his head opened up and out of it
came the butterflies of the world. The perishable dust of Butterfly's wings is
sometimes thought to prove that such beauty is usually not durable. More about this legend
Silversmithing
When and how
the Navaho acquired the art of working metals is unknown but there are reasons
for supposing that it was introduced among them, or at least more developed and
improved upon by them, since the time they have occupied their present country? More about this legend
