The role of the wind in the Navajo ceremony is very important to them as a tribe. They believe that wind is what gives you life, it is you. They viewed the wind this way because you inhale the wind, you live off of the air, if you no longer breathe that hair that you are no longer living. They took a buckskin in the ground with its head to the west, they then placed two ears of corn on it facing the east. Next, they spread the corn over the other buckskin with its head to the east. Under a white ear of corn, they placed the feather of a white eagle. They then placed the feather of a yellow eagle under the ear of yellow corn. The gods told the people to stand at a distance and allow the wind to enter. These steps show how much they valued order
