Sheep
The gods,
of course, had had the animals from the beginning of time. When they arranged
the world and planned the pattern of hte stars in the sky, they first laid the
glittering objects out on a sheepskin. The Sun, father of the war gods, possessed
a flock of sheep in four colors. The beautiful and human myth of the Shooting
Chant tells how he offered these to his twin children when they had sought and
found him. More about this legend
Navajo Fetishes
Navajo fetishes represent a specific area of Navajo art and culture, often misunderstood and sometimes misrepresented. It is assumed by many that Navajo fetishes exist for purely commercial reasons. There is, however, a tradition of fetish use by Navajo people, either as part of personal pollen sacks carried by individuals or as part of a jish, the sacred bundles used by Navajo medicine people.
