The Navajo Yei: From Native American Jewelry Tips website:

“Yei is a shortened version of YeiBiChi, a holy figure in the Navajo culture. Yeis are the supernatural beings that allow communication between the Navajo people and their Gods. One Navajo artist told me, ‘“They are the keepers of the door to the other world.”'
