"A Navajo elder named Klah was said to be a nadleehi. In the 1920s, Klah said that the nadleehi who helped the men during the separation of the sexes was named Kay-des-tizhi, literally “Wrapped in a Rainbow.” Klah’s picture is featured at the top of this post. He suggested that it also was Kay-des-tizhi who hid the sacred male and female reeds beneath his rainbow cloak to rescue the people from the flood."
