Sand Painting weavings were first made by a Navajo Medicine Man, Hosteen Klah, who did special ceremonies to protect himself and his sisters from harm. Sand Painting designs were intended for healing and ceremonial use and were not supposed to be created in permanent form. Klah felt that the designs would be lost if they were not preserved. Modern weavers will generally leave some element out of a Sand Painting's design in respect for their beliefs.
