Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This booklet documents the Navajo "Red Ant Medicineway," a two-day healing ceremony. Navajo healing ceremonies are sacred and rarely photographed. Each day the medicine man makes a sand painting of holy people on the hogan floor. He calls them with cornmeal, pollen and song and the patient sits in the center to effect the healing. After about two hours he sweeps up the paintings and scatters the sand outside. Leon Yost is a documentary photographer who has worked in the American Southwest since the 1970s.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. America's dry southwestern climate preserves untold numbers of rock art sites within its far-flung network of canyons, cliffs and caves. It's a poetic domain of holy people and ceremonies in a magical land of earth and sky. The Native art in this booklet ranges from America's oldest (10,500-14,800 years old) to a recent Navajo sand-painting created and then ritually destroyed as a necessary part of a healing ceremony in 1993. My painter-wife, Erma Martin Yost, and I were struck by the beauty of this rugged region when we first visited in 1976 and now, after four decades, we continue to return whenever we can. We typically fly to Albuquerque, Grand Junction or Las Vegas and then point our rental car in the direction of the Four Corners, taking in the wide vistas so opposite of our eastern home. We follow the trail of the rock art and talk with locals, gaining a sense of understanding while making new discoveries. We know we will never see all the rock art or its secret canyon repositories but each site we visit offers its own clues to the riddles left by the first Americans. This booklet is a collection of images and stories gathered from 40-years walking, observing and photographing. 70 pages, 80 color images This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A richly photographed tour of three Australian rock art regions: Cape York Peninsula in the northeast, the Wardaman tribal land in northwestern Northern Territory and Kakadu National Park in northeastern Northern Territory. Remnants of Aboriginal culture still survive in these outback places-well separated from the coastal cities where most of the new populations reside. With no written language, the Aboriginals' oral stories are their history, evocatively illustrated in pictographs and petroglyphs on the walls of their rock shelters. Much of the art illuminates events from the creation, or dreamtime, when trees could walk and animals could talk. 68 pages, 75 color images This item is printed on demand.
