The sands of time

Navajo artist Emerson Blackhorse Mitchell engages second-grade students from Forsyth School with traditional sandpainting Friday, April 18, in the lower level of Mallinckrodt Center. Mitchell is a specialist in Navajo medicine, music, art and traditional culture and teaches at Red Mesa High School and Navajo Community College in Shiprock, N.M. The sandpainting event was part of American Indian Awareness Week, which was hosted by the Kathryn M. Buder Center for American Indian Studies at the George Warren Brown School of Social Work in conjunction with the American Indian Center of Mid-America. Mitchell's visit to Washington University was made possible in part by the Department of Music in Arts and Sciences. (Photo by Joe Angeles)
