Direction: West ( E’e’aah)
\nColor: Yellow (Litzo)
\nProtector: Wolf (Ma’\u00ed\u00ed Tsoh)<\/h3>\n

In the west, Doko’oosliid San Francisco Peaks was made on a abalone blanket, soil from Doko’oosliid and pieces of abalone brought from the Third World .<\/p>\n

They dressed and decorated this mountain with abalone shell to create understanding of our social unity and life (Iina).<\/p>\n

San Francisco peaks was anchored with sunbeams and the mountain was covered with a blanket of yellow cloud.<\/p>\n

It also was decorated with black clouds and male rain.<\/p>\n

Abalone shell boy made his home on the mountain of the West<\/p>\n

These are the Holy People that were told to live in this mountain:
\n1. Yellow Evening Boy and Girl
\n2. Abalone Shell Boy and Girl
\n3. Yellow Corn Boy and Girl
\n4. All kinds of yellow birds
\n5. Mixture of water and plants
\n6. Yellow wind was made to give life to this mountain<\/p>\n

The San Francisco Peaks, is where the sun sets.<\/p>\n

When you watch the sun set behind the San Francisco Peaks from a certain location, the setting sun creates this bright hue into the sky making a certain kind of light reflect down to earth.<\/p>\n

This reflected light is what gives the San Francisco Peaks its literally translated name,<\/p>\n

The Mountain that Reflects. As the sun sets, you have carried out your plans.<\/p>\n

From day to day, these carried out plans eventually equates to your life.<\/p>\n

The western mountain, the San Francisco Peaks, represents life.<\/p>\n
