A part Otomi Indian from Mexico was adopted into the Navajo tribe at sixteen. He learned sandpainting from the medicine men who painted loosely on the ground, to be destroyed within a twelve hour period. He explains the inner meaning of some 30 sandpaintings such as Whirling Rainbows and Big Thunder. Sixteen of the sandpaintings have color plates.

Tapestries in Sand: The Spirit of Indian Sandpainting
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/091101022X/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title These one page story explanations of sand paintings are illustrated with photographic representations. This book tells the story of the Native Pueblo Peoples of America via the healing medicine of their sand paintings and rituals. Whether you read one story from it to your child each night, like one of Grimm's Fairy Tales, or you read one story to yourself, that is enough for a moment of deep insight and wonder. May the Rainbow Guardian that is written of therein shine in, on and through you!
