Native American Mandalas

By Klaus Holitzka

Book Overview

From Sioux sun symbols to a Hopi rock drawing, these 31 Native American mandalas to color--each accompanied by a quote, prayer, or song--capture a range of traditional motifs. Feel the power of the Cheyenne sign of the universe, the Rising Rain Deity of the Hopi, Navaho thunder arrows, a collage of mystical symbols from the Ojibwa, Yokut weaving designs, and a labyrinth from the Papago. Other examples include shields, the four directions, the sun dance, a falcon, and more--all illuminating the Native American respect and regard for Mother Earth and the Great Spirit.

Educational and Relaxing

This Mandala book includes information about each separate mandala including tribe specific data. The mandala's are nature oriented, detailed but not ridiculously so, and calming to color. Of the twenty or so mandala books I have purchased, this was the most interesting.
