Description

I took this in the 1980s, Wallace Ben was kind enough to travel to Nevada for a story. He was a highly respected Navajo sandpainter and medicine man. He wanted traditions to continue. At the same time he saw the value in drawing on both western medicine and Navajo medicine when needed. His work is widely known today.

The sandpainting pictured here was done outdoors which would not be typical in a healing ceremony. Works for art and healing works are different. In the case of the former, some element must be left out.
