The Woven Holy People Exhibit displayed over 60 weavings, some historic and some contemporary.  Steve and Gail were very pleased to be able to present this body of work by the Navajo people.  Historically and today, Navajo weavings are an expression of the Navajo way of life and a demonstration of their culture.  Preserving the images of the Sacred Sandpaintings, Yeis, and Yei Be Chei (Yeibichai) has been a mission of many before us.  

A catalog was printed to preserve the exhibit, as some pieces find new homes.

Weavings featured in the Woven Holy People Exhibit which are available for sale are listed below. As always, if you have any questions please call us at 520-455-5020.
