[edit] Hogans
Navajo dwellings, called hogans, are sacred and constructed to symbolize their land: the four posts represent the sacred mountains, the floor is mother earth, and the dome-like roof is father sky.
[edit] Four Sacred Mountains
The Navajo religion is distinct in that is must be practiced in a particular geographical area. Navajo people believe that the creator instructed them never to leave the land between four sacred mountains located in Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.
