The Laguna Native American burial ritual consists in putting a feather in the deceased hair, painting the face with four colours, wrapping him in a red blanket, and burying him with cornmeal and sprinkling water around his grave. The red colour of the blanket means a blessing for the deceased to help in his journey towards the land of the spirits. The red blanket symbolizes a kind of good luck charm for the body in the spirit world.
