He may use also, in conjunction with the sands of natural color, corn meal, flower pollen, powdered roots and bark, in the execution of this ritual.  Because of the sacred nature of this ceremony, the sandpainting is begun, finished, used, and destroyed within a twelve hour period (either night or day). 16 pages.
