    Where the Two Came to Their Father: A Navaho War Ceremonial Image gallery

    Presented by Smoki Museum at Smoki Museum

    July 2-December 31, 2011

    The Smoki Museum will open a special exhibit of the 18 gouache renderings of sand paintings that were included in the book entitled, When the Two Came to Their Father: A Navaho War Ceremonial. These sand paintings were used in the ceremony for departing soldiers and were given by Jeff King, a Navajo Medicine Man. The book was recently discovered in the Museum's library collection and reflect the original paintings. The paintings were last shown in a gallery setting at the National Gallery of Art in 1943. At the opening, there will be a reception emphasizing the importance of preserving these cultural traditions.
