It is our mission to build a bridge of appreciation, respect and understanding between the Indigenous-Native elders and ancestors whose visions, skills and talents created these amazing works of historic wearable art and those who will curate, caretake and pass on these wonderful works to future generations.
thank for this. My parents grew up in the government boarding schools as they beat and spanked them for speaking the Navajo language. My parents were too scared to even teach us children so now we rely on these as there are still no "official" Navajo language at least that I know of available on language apps. Still too hard for dem. lol. Ahéhee'!
elders say it also is a stone for the fourth world, used to help us reconnect and stay connected to the unseen world that we have been in many ways nearly separated from. 💙
Hello:-) I love jewelry firstly, and I’ve become obsessed with Navajo jewelry recently. I am excited to learn all I can and you are a most knowledgeable gentleman. Thank you for sharing. I’m also researching Mel Tsosie as I came across a lovely turquoise pendant by him, except I’m coming up empty researching him… lol.. Is there any other way I can find his information? Anything you can add is so appreciated but if not I still love your stuff! Blessings sir! Fabulous treasures you have😊❤
I agree with this but would only add that something’s monetary value and their value to the owner are two different things. Just because something didn’t cost a lot or isn’t worth a lot doesn’t necessarily lessen its significance to the owner. I do appreciate your knowledge and willingness to share.
Nizonhi and many beautiful blessings to the married couple. Now teach the world of how Two different cultures can make life easier and beautiful in all aspects of humanity. I am Navajo and pride. Thank you JESUS! I LOVE YOU! AMEN!🙏
