The Navajo , or Dine' make sand paintings. Other native Americans do not. They are made by a Hatałii, a singer or medicine-man, as part of some, but not all, of many multiday Navajo healing ritual chantway ceremonies. They are designed torestore Hózhǫ́, a key Navajo concept that embraces the English ideas of order, harmony, balance, health, beauty and good in one idea.
