The Mountain Chant: A Navajo Ceremony NOTE ON THE ORTHOGRAPHY OF NAVAJO WORDS. / ILLUSTRATIONS / THE MOUNTAIN CHANT: A NAVAJO CEREMONY. / INTRODUCTION.; lines 910-994 confidence: high
Bushrat guides the Navajo to a flat rock, opens a small hole by blowing on it, and brings him into a den where Bushrat's family is present while Ute voices are heard outside.
A hole under a flat rock opens after Bushrat blows on it, and later a door opens in volcanic rock for another refuge.
