I decided that since few attended the chats on the Dine College Ning, I would share some notes I took while I was in the chats.
The first thing that I found out was that there is a correlation of color and life stages to the cardinal directions.
East: White - Infancy/birth
South: Blue - Adolescence
West: Yellow - Adulthood
North: Black - Old age
Some artist references I was given were:
RC Gorman
DY Begay
Bahe Whitethorne
Oreland Joe
and a book reference:
Enduring Traditions by Jerry and Lois Jacka

Thank you (Extra Credit points). Very interesting the association of colors with the four directions and life stages.
