[edit] What is ?

I need to ask--should this article exist at all? The Navajo word "yei" only means "supernatural being" and has no connection to the petroglyph kokopelli. That said, I now must ask, how can rock-art be "rainbow"?Asdzani Bah 08:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Um...the Navajo god Water Sprinkler (I forget the Navajo for it) is considered identical to the Pueblo rain god Kokopelli, who is represented in the aforementioned petroglyphs. But the only rainbow art I know of among Navajos is a separate god, whose image, stretched to cover three sides (not the east) is used as a protective barrier around a sandpainting.

That said, yeah, this article probably isn't good enough to exist. Nagakura shin8 (talk) 18:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
