Hi Rezgirl. I love the picture you put up. My favorite author is Tony Hillerman. He writes mysteries and they are all located in the southwest(4 corners area). He is very knowledgable about the Navajo and their beliefs and customs. I had known about the people abandoning a hogan when someone died but not the part about the owl. I love reading about the native people of our country. Way back many generations ago I know that one of my grandmothers was native indian, but never was able to find out her name or tribe. I saw her picture once when I was young. She had beautiful long hair. My parents were always so secretive, we never could learn very much about our family. Anyyway....if you are a reader and happen to like mysteries, I recommend Tony Hillerman. He passed away last fall, but he wrote many episodes in the "Chee and Leaphorn" series. ...Thanks for posting....Katmom
