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

Turquoise concerns 'hozho.'
Turquoise (and silver) are the best gift a person can receive.
For me it does not matter what kind of turquoise stone it is, or what the grade is. For me the fact that its turquoise is golden! As a desert-dweller and person of Navajo and Hopi heritage, the stone is much more than the tangible. Turquoise concerns 'hozho.' The beauty of life, the balance of life and the power of protection.
I love receiving gifts of such beauty. Truly.
Blessings.
