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

Southwest Adornment & Trade History of the Four Corners by Yazzgrl Art
I am grateful for the opportunity to share my Dine' people's cultural landscape narrative with the community of the Four Corners.
The land is a very dominant concept in the identity of the Dine' people of Arizona, Utah and New Mexico, USA. In this presentation I will talk on this subject and also on the historical pre-Columbian trade that was perpeuated within the Indigenous tribal groups of the region, which also included trade from Mexico, the Pacific Gulf and South America.
The event is sponsored by San Juan College Cultural Immersion Group and Native American Center - and will be a Zoom presentaion. It is open and free to the public. Information is available on the official flyer announcement.
