Empowered Dine' Women


With Miss Navajo Teen at Women's conference today.
Shiprock, NM

Coordinators of the conference: Miranda, Shirley and Karen
Shiprock, NM 2017



What a wonderful day I had in Shiprock, NM! I attended and presented at the 9th Annual Celebration of Women conference today.

The blessing was just in being present to share and spend time with a diverse group of Navajo women of all generations.  The narratives of each woman was medicine and the perpetuated dialogue was all about having and giving 'love' to each other by way of language and in prayers.

The attendees who attended are now some very empowered Dine' Women! There was much healing and affirmations of good ways throughout the day, and to the celebration of the Dine Matriarch, the warrior-women in all of us.

Many thanks to the Northwest New Mexico Arts Council for making my attendance and presentation possible, and also to Shirley Montoya.

Shil nizhon.
