Black and Blue Wind People
The snake is crossed at the chest of the holy wind being.
The maize is also standing one is facing us and the other is away from us. The male side of the corn has two stalk and the female side of the corn has three stalks. Two and three is equal to five.
The Snake and Corn people are standing on top of the first blood-dark world. In the beginning there was only Talking Holy Wind.
They are guarded by the Snakes. Snake are the common representative of the cosmic being and relationship to the earth.
The manifestation of nature is that all things goes in cyclical spiral. There are alots of examples such as the whirlwinds, tornadoes, hurricanes, growth of plants, motion of the water and atoms.
On the upper left is an insect called perusha or "Do'tsoh" by the Navajo. The "Do'tsoh" has a white stripe from the nose down through the back. He brought fire to the Navajo to be used in the traditional Navajo sweatlodge from the west.
This was done because of the early Spanish atrocities as well as during the 1850's-1868.
This was the period Christopher "Kit" Carson rounded up the Navajo people on behalf of the U. S. military and government.
The treaty of 1849 with Mexico and U. S./Guadelupe Hildago created the removal from our aboriginal area.
There were only 3,800 Navajo people survived the concentration camp.
Today we multiplied to about 190,000 according to 2000 census count.
