Learning to Weave in Window Rock: Stripes are Good
Tempe, AZ One of the things that people come to terms with when they’re learning to weave Navajo style is something that I learned from Pearl Sunrise at a class I took a long time ago (shortly after the Monster-Slayer Twins rid the Fourth World of nasty creatures). With great authority and wisdom, Pearl said…
Weaving in Beauty October 2009: Starting to Weave
Tempe, AZ Navajo visitors to our classroom often ask the students if they have done their own warps and are surprised to learn that they have.

The Oak Ridge Fire status as of this morning:
Oak Ridge Fire Update – July 5, 2025
Size: 10,814 acres
Personnel: 604
Containment: 26%
Containment doubles as fire crews continue to work the edges of the Oak Ridge Fire.
Highlights: Friday’s firefighting efforts brought containment of the Oak Ridge Fire to 26%. There is still much work to be done on the rugged edges of the fire, but steady progress continues to be made. Significant smoke could be visible today as unburned pockets of vegetation within the fire’s perimeter are consumed. The risk of spread from this interior burning is minimal.

Here are some pictures from the shearing event at the Navajo Nation fairgrounds this morning! Jay Begay organized a shearing for the sheep evacuated due to the Oak Ridge Fire (now 13% contained).
Some of evacuated sheep hadn't been sheared this year. They got a good haircut from the volunteer crew. Most of the shearing was done with hand shears, although there was one electric clipper on site.
You can spot Jay Begay, Nikyle Begay, and Eliseo Curley among those wielding the shears. They completed the job well before noon.
We dropped off some wool bags and left water, Gatorade, and some snacks with the donation center on the fairgrounds.
