Navajo Arts Beauty

*Traditional Art & Crafts*

This section  will concentrate on the different types of art and crafts that are made by our people in our local and in other areas of the Navajo Land.







This is a Traditional Weaving loom that the Navajo use to make their rugs. They have to use specific tools and instruments , which are most likely to be cedar for that is the most common wood that is located in the area. They use these materials to make a successful rug. Their tools are most likely made out of the same wood as they used on their looms. They are heavy so that when they pound down the wool, the sections of the rug are so tightly compacted together that it was used to carry and store water in like a bucket.



Each rug tell their own stories and of different places. Each weaver have their own style of designing their own rug. Some by there colors and different designs. There are not many weavers to this day the importance of making the demands of traditionally made rugs by Navajos are important. Here are a couple of rugs for an example of how Navajo weavers weave their rugs.

Navajo Jewelry

*Traditional Jewelry*

Jewelry to the Navajo's are a must . They come in different shapes and sizes, and just only some times, in a different color than the natural turquoise and the red coral coloring of the stones that are used to make jewelry. They are mainly made with silver. There are also differences in between the male and female jewelry as well. The men and women of The People also compete in both size and value of their jewelry. The example you see below is a complete set (female). 










 

There are many different kinds of bracelets that the Navajo People wear, The women of course prefer the fancy big looking ones while some others like them plain and simple too. As for the men they or we do not exactly call them Bracelets, we know them as bow guards. The reason for this is that they'd wear it as a protection while hunting so as not to let the bow and arrow burn that portion of their arm.

All Day
This event repeats every year.
Event Location: Dec. 15, 2005 11:15AM Popping Trees, Deer Shed Their Horns ,
Notes:
Anishinaabeg (Objibwe)Minado Giisoonhs - Little Spirit Moon (Min-ah-doh Gee-soonhs)The Full Cold Moon; or the Full Long Nights Moon - December During this month the winter cold fastens its grip, and nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule. The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, and because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time. The midwinter full Moon has a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite a low Sun.

'Twas the Night Before Ojibwe Christmas'

'Twas the Night Before Ojibwe Christmas'

By Tara Prindle

'Twas the night before Niibaa-anamaíegiizhigad, when all through the wiigiwaam Not an awakaan was stirring, not even a waawaabiganoojiinh; The moccasins were hung by the smoke hole with care, In hopes that Miigiwe Miskwaa Gichi Inini soon would be there; The abinoojiinhyag were nestled all snug in their nibaaganan, While visions of ziinzibaakwad danced in their nishttigwaan; And nimaama in her moshwens, and I in my makadewindibe, Had just settled down for a long biiboon zhiibaangwashi, . When outside the wiigiwaam there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the nibaagan to see what was the matter. Away to the waasechigan I flew like inaabiwin, Tore open the shutters and threw up the gibiigaíiganiigin. The dibik-giizis on the breast of onaaband Gave a shine like duct tape to objects zazagaamagad, When, what to my wondering nishkiizhigoon should appear, . But a miniature toboggan, and eight tiny waawaaskeshi, With a little old driver, so lively and wajepii, I knew in a moment it must be Miigiwe Miskwaa Gichi Inini. More rapid than migiziwag his coursers they came, And he whistled, and biibaagi, and izhi-wiinde by name; "Now, Bimibatoo! now, Niimi! now, Babaamishimo and Moozhikwe! On, Anang! on Zaagi! on, Animikii and Wawaasese! To the top of the porch! to the top of the wiigiwaam! Now Bimibide! Ipide! Ombibidemagad!" . As dry leaves that before the wiindigoo fly, When they meet with BIA, mount to the sky, So up to the apakwaan the coursers they flew, With the tobaggon full of toys, and Miigiwe Miskwaa Gichi Inini too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the apakwaan The prancing and pawing of each little inzid. As I drew in my iniji, and was turning around, Down the chimney Miigiwe Miskwaa Gichi Inini came with a bound. . He was dressed all in gipagawe, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with bingwiand and soot; A bundle of toys he mangiwane on his back, And he looked like a adaawewinini just opening his pack. His ishkiinzigoon -- how they twinkled! his inowan how merry! His miskwanowan were like roses, his nose like a choke-cherry! His droll little indoon was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as gichimookamaan; . The stump of a opwaagan he held tight in his wiibidaakaajiganan , And the smoke it encircled his head like a miskwaanzigan; He was full up on frybread with little round belly, That shook, when he laughed like a wiigwaasinaagan of jelly. He was chubby and wiinin, a right jolly old elf, And I giimoodaapi when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his ishkiinzigoon and a twist of his mangindibe, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to gotaaji; . He ojibwemo not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the moccasins; then turned with a jerk, And laying his ibinaakwaanininj aside of his nose, And wewebikweni, up the smoke hole he rose; He sprang to his toboggan, to his waawaaskeshi gave a whistle, And away they all onjinizhimo like the down of a thistle. But I heard him biibaagi, ere he drove out of sight, . "Happy Niibaa-anamaíegiizhigad to all, And to all baamaapii."

I saw Annie at the Cloquet Coffee shop she was on stage with Paul. Her songs touched my soul and her intensity made me speachless. The gaze from her brown eyes turned into a aura of powerful energy that filled the room. I'm an old soul and a old man but never experienced anything like that before. The spirit that is in her body is rare and very powerful.
