Walk In Beauty

We were lucky enough to spend a lot of time in Dinetah (Navajoland) from 1993-1996.
We not only toured all of the wonderful 'Tourist Spots", but had a chance to really
get to know many Navajos (Diné) and their values of family, spirituality and the land.
I hope you enjoy this glimpse into a nation within our nation.

 I was down today with a bug, so I used this picture that I took last fall in Monument Valley. These 2 of the Yazzie boys were all dressed up, waiting to go to the Navajo fair in Window Rock. I just loved them all dressed up in their ceremonial garb. Music is by Sharon Burch, a favorite Diné (Navajo) singer.

What a wonderful gallery! Are you familiar with the books by Tony Hillerman, set in that same land? These photos really capture that amazing landscape! V.
