Presents Maude Oakes' versi...ons of the Navaho pollen-paintings, a Blessing Ceremonial, stemming from a Navaho Creation myth, which was given to Maud Oakes by Jeff King, a Medicine Man, and recorded for the first time when it was originally published in 1944. The contents of this copy are clean and bright, with some very mild folds to the corners of a few of the prints. The publisher's box is somewhat rubbed and worn, with one of the edges sprung.
