Weaver Gilbert Begay will be among the participants at Navajo Weaver's Day July 17, in Window Rock, AZ.

Window Rock, AZ The Navajo Nation Museum has designated Friday, July 17 as their first Dinéjík’éhgo ‘Atło (Navajo Weaver’s Day).  The event will feature vendors, weaving demonstrations, food, a symposium, and two screenings of  the 2007 documentary “Weaving Worlds” (at 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM).  “Weaving Worlds” director Bennie Klain and weaver Gilbert Begay are among the participants in a panel discussion following each showing of the film, which is about an hour in length.   Click here to see a trailer for the film.  

Visitors will also have the opportunity to visit the ongoing “Generations” exhibit of Two Grey Hills weaving at the museum.   The event is free and is open to the public.  Make your plans to be there now; I’ve got my trip planned! 

Hagoshíí (so long for now)

    Jackie Schweitzer: hello, if you happen to have a cancellation for Oct. 2010, i would like to take the spot. if not, probably May 2011. i have a 2nd person coming but he is not a weaver. thanks!

    Mary Walker: Our physical address is protected on the web site but appears on all of our online transactions and invoices. We can provide references from past students if you'd like them. We have provided classes on the Navajo Nation since 2000 and have taught over 500 students. Please contact me via email if you'd like to set up a phone or web conference to discuss a class. Thanks for your interest in learning to weave the Navajo way!

    Mary Ann Polacek: I am interested in signing up for future classes, but dont see contact info to discuss classes beforehand as you require or firsttimers. Also I dont do cyperspace business without a physical address involved when invovling money-waaaay too much internet fraud out there to submit deposits to cyperspace. Please advise how to contact you and engage in synchronous conversation about upcoming classes. Thank you.
