Description
The Navajo, Diné, passed through three different worlds before arriving at the present world, The Fourth World. Their holy people have taught the Diné to live in harmony with Mother Earth, Father Sky and the surrounding plants and animals. Their culture tells of four directions, four seasons, the First Four Clans and four sacred mountains.
Unfortunately these traditional ways are quickly fading, seeing three-quarters of 21st century Navajo youth unable to speak their native language. Medicine men, key to performing rituals and ceremonies, are becoming scarce. Fortunately, some of their legends live on, as related in this feature. Baby Rocks Mesa, located 15 miles from Kayenta, a sorority of hoodoos, tells of a Navajo legend of a girl who refused to share bread with her sister. She is now one of the standing spires of this collection of Morrison and Zuni sandstone images.

Beautiful geological formation. It seems that all cultures find way to scare our (their) children into doing the right thing.

A fascinating formation, and a great photo, Richard!
So sad that so many cultures are dying out - and being replaced with much less desirable "cultures" if you can call them that...
