SKY FATHER AND MOTHER EARTH, appear in many sand paintings and are often times depicted on woven rugs by the Navajo people. Inside the body of Mother Earth are the four sacred plants: Corn, Beans, Squash and Tobacco. In the body of Father Sky are the sun, the moon, constellations and stars important to the Navajo. They represent female and male, the most fundamental of all binary pairs: the female Mother Earth and the male Father Sky who together represent the entirety of the universe. Artists frequently vary these images reflecting individual interpretation.
