founded by Grandmother Grace Yellowhammer and the traditional
Navajo weavers from Teesto, Big Mountain, and other communities
in Arizona. Our goal is to help the traditional Navajo people and
other Native American people with assistance in establishing a connection
or relations with the people who care about preserving our cultural
heritage teachings. We want to educate the people about our ways
of life with respect to the land, our Mother Earth. We want to bridge
with the world and convey the message of traditional spiritual healing,
arts, agriculture and environment education awareness for all peoples.
We are a
grassroot traditional Dine'h (Navajo) people found in Arizona that

and community resources. We will display many types and designs
of traditional Navajo rugs woven by the people. We are conveying
our message of cultural preservation to the global community.

rugs are best known by their world wide elegant and distinctive
Native American designs. The Navajo weavers create their own sacred
traditional designs that relates the People. Each design within the Navjao rug
carries many sacred symbolic
meanings. It involves the Navajo legend story, herding
the sheep, preparing the wool, weaving the wool on a loom, and designing
the Navajo Rug. This whole traditional process enables to weavers create an Authentic Navajo rug.
