charring auh#Zuni artwork is absolutely stunning! The detail in the embroidery is amazing. It's fascinating how the sashes cover the edges of the kilt. Have you ever considered making something like this yourself?
Charring AuhWhen commercial fabrics were introduced in the 1920s and 30s, Zuni textiles wer into huge decline. Today very few #Zuni weavers actually know how to make kilts or the brocade (embroidery) anymore. So I had to teach myself to do all this. Now we trying to get young people to carry on this tradition.

#FoodSovereignty Team Shares Knowledge, Nourishes Community This Fall
#CommunityGardening and #SeedSaving remain central to the team’s efforts, despite the challenges this year due to excessive summer heat, pervasive drought and a dwindling water supply. Fortunately, the garden at Ho’n A:wan Park is now thriving with the arrival of cooler fall temperatures and some rain.

Excerpt: "The food sovereignty team also recently hosted two workshops for the Zuni community. One was a virtual workshop on pickling, which #ZYEP recorded and uploaded to social media so it would always be accessible.
" 'Khass pickled cucumbers, chili peppers, onions and purslane, which grows abundantly here,' Seowtewa said, noting that purslane, a fleshy-leafed succulent plant, tastes a lot like artichoke hearts.
"ZYEP also hosted an in-person workshop in partnership with James and Joyce Skeets, owners of Vanderwagen, New Mexico-based Spirit Farm. Fifteen community members attended the workshop, which gave them opportunities to learn about—and taste—some of the plants grown at the farm, including basil, hyssop, chili peppers, mint, nasturtiums and Stevia leaf."

Water Jar (Olla) with Rainbird | Cleveland Museum of Art
Zuni (A:shiwi) women used ollas (<em>oy-</em>ahs) like this one to collect, carry, and store water. The water well was a place for socializing, and the vessels’ public visibility may help to explain their elaborate, deftly painted decoration—here an abstract creature called the Rainbird whose beak spirals between two stylized, stepped wings that may allude to moisture-bearing clouds. Milford Nahohai, the contemporary Zuni potter, believes the motif is inspired by rain clouds that roll into the Zuni River Valley, their leading edges curled under the main mass to form a curve like that of the beak.

#OakFlat is a sacred place to the Western #Apache, #Yavapai, #O’odham, #Hopi, and #Zuni. It is a place where rituals are performed, and resources are gathered; its loss would be an indescribable hardship to those peoples.”

From Oak Flat to Ukraine: Trump’s Feverish Lust for Green Energy Resources
Ancient oak trees rise above gigantic boulders scattered across a high desert mesa in Arizona’s Tonto National Forest. This is Oak Flat (Chi’ chil Bildagoteel), a sacred site for Native Americans, including the Western and San Carlos Apache. And like many other lands across the West, it’s under grave threat from multinational mining interests, all in the name of climate mitigation, but most importantly, for the money
