About this book

Tapestries in Sand: The Spirit of Indian Sandpainting by Villasenor, David. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780911010220.

A part Otomi Indian from Mexico was adopted into the Navajo tribe at sixteen. He learned sandpainting from the medicine men who painted loosely on the ground, to be destroyed within a twelve hour period. He explains the inner meaning of some 30 sandpaintings such as Whirling Rainbows and Big Thunder. Sixteen of the sandpaintings have color plates.
