THE WATERHOLE
The waterhole hides away behind the red rocks, but my sheep know where to find it.

Sheep Corral - Navajo Language Lesson

 

SHEEP CORRAL
Near my mother’s hogan is the sheep corral, a hard packed place fenced with poles.
There is a tree for shade.
There is a shelter for lambs in the sheep corral.
