Sand paintingsNavajo Sand paintings. Sand paintings originate from Navajo healing ceremonies. The medicine man builds a Sand painting and places the patient in the middle of it. To aid in the healing process, sand from the painting is rubbed over certain parts of the patient's body. When the ceremony is over, the Sandpainting is destroyed, thereby destroying the illness.
This Navajo symbol of healing is now apppreciated as a work of art.
