Created as an homage to my desert ancestors, I focus on the historical significance of Indigenous southwestern tribal adornment culture and the perpetuation of those adornment practices perpetuated into the 21st century. In honor of my Navajo & Hopi Pueblo People & my ancestral matriarchs, and male relatives who adorned themselves with elements of the earth. Be Matriarch. Hózhó Nashá- Beauty all Around. Venaya Yazzie

Navajo tribal social life and courtship ritual.
This historical video footage is interesting, though it contains many discrepancies (from an Anglo Anthro's pov) depicts the life of a 1930s era Navajo family.
Pay close attention to the male and female attire as it shows Indigenous ADORNMENT by both and is quite lovely.
At 5:40 the social song is shown here:
