Got that Old Time Religion
Scattered about the
Navaho reservation
are many cairn shrines
The Navaho
when alone
or in parties
on approaching
one of these
gathers a few twigs
of pinon or cedar
places them
on the shrine
scatters a pinch
of sacred meal upon it
And makes supplication
for that which he may
habitually need or which
the moment demands.
