The 'Be Matriarch' Handbag

The 'Be  Matriarch' Handbag
By Venaya Yazzie

Yazzgrl Art Designs at the annual Santa Fe Indian Market, Santa Fe, NM

The 'Be Matriarch' Handbag is a series of handmade bags made by me Venaya Yazzie.  The concept of the bag is inspired by my female family members, my matriarchs of the Dine' (Navajo) Nation.

In a cultural society that lives as a matriarchal society, the concept of ' be matriarch' was conceived by me as I looked at the role that women play in my Indigenous culture.

Be Matriarch' is therefore the brain child of me.
