What is this "Queue" ? The Navajos today wears this kind of hair style and it is very ancient. Besides the showing pictures there are Pueblos, Egyptians, and Piautes that wears hairbun.

Mimbres people of the 'Shootingway' rituals is painted on a pottery of the southwest region. In New Mexico. They too wear 'TSIIYEEL"..These Mimbre people also practiced the Male Shooting way rituals. The painting of the face and other paraphenalia are the same as the Navajo Male Shootingway rite.

The mask on the left is from Paraguay, South America. Did Chichimecs migrated to the southwest? When? And into other parts of Americas-southeast, far north, and up the pacific coast into Canada.

This mask has "Pleiades" on the forehead. Look like a crescent moon for the mouth (?).

What about the "Son of the Sun" crown which is very similiar to the "Talking God" of the Navajo Nightway.
