ESTSANATLEHI The most respected goddess of the Navaho Indians, she is seen as the goddess of change, and it is said that she progresses through age to become an old woman, then becomes a young woman again. She passes through an endless stream of lives, always changing but never dying. The Navaho tales tell how the first man and woman observed a balck cloud descend onto a mountain, and perceiving great portents therein, appraoched the mountain, where they found a baby girl. This was Estsanatlehi, who grew into a full-grown woman within eighteen days of the couple taking her home. It is also said that the goddess, feeling lonely, fashioned men and women out of small pieces of her own skin, to keep her company.
