I feel so very fortunate to be give the ability to trek freely on my Navajo homelands. As an artist and cultural educator I have opportunities to see the beauty of the desert and mountain range lands of the the Navajo people.
In the 21st century I do not ride a horse or pull a horse-drawn wagon, but instead travel to and fro in my modern 'Indian' vehicle. As Native people we are still drawn to be nomadic and trek daily across the vast lands of our Navajo ancestors. The land is our heart, the land is our mother, we for the most part respect her.
I am thankful for what I have to see and experience in my little corner of the world.
