Indian Gods Defied by Medicine Man
Omaha Denie Chili Betusa, youngest Navajo medicine man, allowed a photograph of a sacred sand painting during a recent tour appearance. Berton I Staples notes it marks the first such permit in Navajo tour history. For Navajos, photography can rob the subject of mysterious substance, the taboo especially in religious ceremonies. The sand painting uses bright colors on a neutral ground to depict spirits and natural forces.
