The Navajo Sacred Four Directions

 We have some crosses representing the four sacred directions of Navajo life. We wanted to share this with you.

East--This is the direction of the dawn and it is our thinking direction. We should first think before we do anything. When the sun comes up, we look to the East...

South--This is our planning direction where we plan what we are going to do.

West--This is our life, and is where we do our living. Here is where we act out our plan and our thoughts of the east and south directions of our lives. The sun goes down in the West.

North--This is the evaluation portion of our lives. This is where we get our satisfaction and we evaluate the outcome of what we first started in the east. Here is where we determine to change things to make it better, or to see we are on the right path.

At Sacred Bear we are committed to bringing you Authentic Native American Indian art…that’s why we support the IACA. Established in 1974, IACA's mission is to support, preserve and protect authentic American Indian arts and crafts.
