ROCK POINT, Navajo Nation -- Navajo elder Tabaahi Ts'osi, George Blue-eyes shared his knowledge of the magic and mystery of dry farming with a planting stick in the book 'Navajo Farming,' now a classic.

"George Blue-eyes plants by the stars. When the weather starts getting warm, he watches the evening sky to look for six tiny stars which in Navajo are called Dilyehe, and in English are called the Pleiades."
