The Sacred Mountains of the Dinè

When the Holy People were preparing the Fourth World for habitation by the Dinè, they took mountains that had been formed in the lower worlds and replanted them in this, the Fourth World. Their placement forms the boundaries of the land of the Navajo.

Sacred ceremonies, songs, and prayers surround the histories of these mountains. They are a guide to understanding, strength, courage, and endurance for the Navajo.
