Spent a fun Saturday morning with hubby at our DUP Museum in town for a fascinating lecture by a very talented Navaho weaver, author and grandmother GINNY SPARKS who was born and raised on the reservation, and spent time in BIA Indian schools. She shared her lifestyle growing up with us.So interesting! We ended this fun day together with lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant in town Paulas.

A beautiful small rug she is weaving for her grand dg. |

She does it all from processing the wool, dying it different colors then spinning it all by hand. |

As a fifth generation Navaho, she shared her beliefs & unique lifestyle, attended college-became a nurse. Now writes children's books about her life to share her journey. |
