Mountain Gazette : Vigil — Michael Wolcott

To the Navajo, [the San Francisco Peaks — actually the collapsed remains of a single giant volcano –] is Dook’o’ sliid, one of four cardinal points in the universe. To the Hopi it is Navatikyaovi. Throughout the year, the Hopi dances lure water from the sky above the mountain and marry it to the soil. This keeps the world in balance.
