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

Huerfano. Homelands.
When I think of the land of the Navajo, I always think first of the center sacred mountatin.
It is the called Huerfano Mesa in English and is listed as such on the maps and in online maps.
The mountain is very special to many Navajo. For me and my family it is the place of our homelands,
the land handed down to us for generations of Navajo matriarchs.
The place is in my soul, shimmering turquoise thoughts through my veins.
In beauty.
