The Nightway chant, in Navajo Tłʼééʼjí, is one of sixty or so Navajo chantways to heal and restore Hozho, (order, harmony and peaceful beauty). It is prescribed to cure mental disturbances, head ailments, blindness, hearing loss and other conditions. It is a Holyway ceremonial. It is performed under the direction of a hataałii, a chanter or singer, who directs his assistants in the nine day ceremony. Each part must be performed exactly as taught. there are sandpaintings, songs, prayers, sweat baths, dances, prayers and offerings. the final dance is sometomes called the ye'ii bicheii. The famous "house made of dawn song" is at the end.
