It rumbles and shakes Mother Earth as it awakens the hibernating animals and reptiles. It is considered a sacred moment for the Din4 people and the animals.The Navajo Cradleboard serves as a protective carrier for an infant. Traditionally a cradleboard was constructed by the father of the infant. The cradleboard is made from pine, cottonwood or the cedar tree. It is laced together with buckskin.The cradleboard has two back boards that represent Mother Earth and Father Sky, A piece of wood is shaped into a bow that represents a rainbow, it goes over the baby’s head for protection. It is believed that the cradleboard gives the baby a straight back for good posture. The cradleboard is blessed with corn pollen, prayers, and good thought for the baby.Every spring, many Navajo families plant large fields of corn. Corn is one of the main staples of Navajo life. It's an important food item. But its use goes far beyond just nutrition, it is also an important part of Navajo prayer. The pollen of the corn is dusted off the tassels and used in ceremonies and is offered in prayer. Essential Questions1.
