Canyon Weaver
The Grand Canyon is rightfully listed as one of the seven greatest wonders of the world. Its sheer width and girth is enough to take ones breath away. Its spectrum of color changes subtly throughout the day, crescendoing into what appears to be the canyon absorbing the very sunset itself.
The Native American communities surrounding the Grand Canyon continue to practice the traditions passed on to them from their ancient ancestors. Represented among these tribes are the Navajo, Havasupai, Hualapai, Kaibab-Paiute and Hopi. The handiwork of these people reflects their culture, beliefs and spirituality. Whether it’s the Havasupai basketry, Hopi pottery or Navajo weavings one can see easily see the created world reflected in symbolism, color and pattern. The voice of the people can be heard through their art. It speaks of the timeless grandeur and enduring beauty of the Grand Canyon.
