Shaped from clouds, given breath
AS THE ELDERS TELL IT — THE FIRST SHEEP
In Diné tradition the Holy People made the first sheep — a body molded from clouds, bones of straight willow, horns and hooves shaped from a rainbow, a face of dawn, eyes of rock crystal, ears made from tobacco — then breathed life into them. Those first sheep are the Navajo-Churro, the breed this camp still raises today.
