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

Sunday Blessings
I have always wanted to meet my maternal great-grandfather.
Last week an aunt gave me picture of him. It was a texted photo that she received from his oldest sister from Shiprock.
All I could do was tear up and cried some - to see the image of your great-grandfather's face is absolute healing....
I have been looking at the photo everyday since and I feel so blessed...
I will post this image soon and share his story and my story of 'indigenous adornment.'
Blessings.
