Navajo Shaman

Navajo Shaman Ceremony

Above we show a striking photo entitled " Giving Medicine". It was made in 1905 by Edward S. Curtis.

The illustration documents Navajo shaman giving medicine to participant sitting atop a blanket used in sweatbath, as two others look on.

We have compiled this collection of artwork mainly to serve as a vital educational resource. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
