Also known as Swirling Rainbows. To the Navajo and the Hopi, the Whirling Rainbow Woman is the bringer of friendly rains that nurture the Three Sisters - Corn, Squash and Beans - during the summer so that people will be fed.
The Whirling Rainbow Woman comes from all Four Directions and curves like a swastika covering all directions. The outside of the Sacred Circle is protected by another Whirling Rainbow Woman bending her body in the space below creating a cup-shape to catch the rain and protect the circle. Without the Rain, the Three Sisters will die and the People will not be fed.
