 Among the other sand pictures, now painted on the walls of the hotel are those symbolizing The Clouds" "The Arrow Ceremony" "The Eagle Cere- mony" ''The Sky Man." The Earth Mother" "The Bear" The Pollon Boy" and The Harvest Beetle"
 When the Navajo tribe heard that the sand pictures were to be transfer red and perpetuated they insisted on dodicating the hotel with the ritual of their race and performed the ritual of "The Blessing Of the House."
 In a previous ceremony, the evil spirits had been thrown out and the ritual contained no words of any evil or unlucky thing or spirit. Instead all that is good and beautiful was invited to take possession of the dwelling and its occupants and leave no room for evil spirits to return. The initial chant sung during :he procession of the Medicine Men was an invocation to the Unnamed God" He was peti- toned to bless rot only the house, but all lLo OCCQpduLS anu all lIldJ pCl LelHC'I to 1t as far as the mountains on the four sides of it.
 Paintings Blessed
 The paintings were blessed with a special ceremony. the procession going from picture to picture. stopping for the leaders to sprinkle each picture with the sacred corn pollon.
 After these particular blessings were invoked, number of other l chants were sung and the medicine men sprinkled the meal from the sand pictures over the building and the spectators and to "the four corners of the Earth" The remainder of the | sand was placed in buckskin bags and 1 couriers rode forth to places remote [ from the gatherings of men, where | they could hear The Echo" and there | buried the bags.
