Navajo medicine man. Sandpaintings and legends of Miguelito from the John Frederick Huckel Collection. By Gladys A. Reichard.New York: Augustin, 1939.Navajo sandpaintings are traditionally made only for the healing ceremony in which they are used, and then destroyed. This book contains superb reproductions on sand-colored paper of watercolor versions of the sandpaintings painted by the medicine man, himself. The paintings are accompanied by an essay on this ancient form of medicine, in which the patient sat in the center of the painting and the healer chanted, and a cure was effected through the identification of the patient with divine powers portrayed in the painting and chant.
