The simplicity of our Indigenous female existence is priceless!
I love to view and study the historic photographs of my southwest tribal people: Hopi and Navajo. We are resilient human beings, we've endured many hardships and much turmoil, yet we continue to be strong in our cultural heritage and ways of being. I love this image for many reasons...
First, is that it shows that mother/grandmother/matriarch and young girl bond.
Second, the image shows the historic method of Hopi Pueblo women's hair tying.
Thirdly, it show the tribal women's garments of that time.
Lastly, it depict their Indigenous Adornment via their tribal jewelry pieces.
Our southwestern Indigenous people are so fascinating, everything we do and make is connected to a very spiritually-rooted place, in this way we know we are protected.
Much Blessings.
