| Description |
Color photograph of an older Navajo man with a plaid shirt, vest, and jeans, turquoise earrings, bracelets, and a yellow bandana around his head. "An old medicine man was in charge of the ritualistic part of the ceremony, including preparation of the 'Stick' and treatment of the patients. It was his responsibility to sing the traditional songs, without which the ceremony could not be of value in curing the ills of the patients. " "Photograph by Electroflash on daylight type Kodachrome." There is no attribution for the quotes |
