Eric Paul Riege, Nikyle Begay, Tyrrell Tapaha, and Zefren Anderson speak openly with moderator Amy Yeung of Orenda Tribe on topics ranging from the deep roots of weaving to the future of Diné fiber art. This film aims to raise needed funds for Diné Be’ Iiná (The Navajo Lifeway), an organization promoting sustainable livelihood through the Navajo Way of Life. Traditionally, this has included sheep, wool and weaving, and the beauty that comes from these practices. This conversation highlights the authentic voices of these young Diné weavers who are holding and sharing cultural knowledge that has been preserved for generations. The Navajo Lifeway is one of the longest running Non-Profit Organizations on the Navajo Nation. Their largest yearly event, Dibé Be’ Iiná or Sheep Is Life Celebration, is a celebration of traditional Navajo shepherding and weaving culture. This incredible event hosts vendor booths, and educational workshops showcasing Navajo-Churro sheep, and wool shows. Due to COVID-19, all in-person Navajo Lifeway events have been cancelled for the year, including the Sheep Is Life Celebration, leaving many educators and artists without an outlet to sell their goods. With your generosity and our collaborative fundraising efforts, we hope to provide needed funds to the members of The Navajo Lifeway so they may continue to focus their time and energy on promoting a sustainable livelihood through their core programing including: Sheep to Loom, which focuses on Navajo Weaving and fiber education, Sheep to Table, a program which includes workshops and seasonal plant foraging walks to inspire the use of traditional herbs and plants in Navajo cuisine, and community outreach through Textile and Weaving Consultation, Navajo-Churro Lamb Presidium, and Navajo-Churro Sheep Breed Advocacy. It is incredibly important that we are supporting traditional artists during the COVID-19 pandemic since many of these artists have lost opportunities due to social distancing limitations. The Navajo Nation has been, and continues to be severely impacted by the pandemic. Currently, the Navajo Nation has the third highest rate of positive cases among tribal nations. Indigenous artists rely on events and markets since these are the few safe and regulated spaces for them to sell their work. Historically, there have been many limitations for these artists, and their art has been heavily appropriated by big businesses and fast fashion companies. This conversation is meant to bring these artists a platform for them to share their work and knowledge, as well as a space for the Navajo Lifeway organization to gain support for their members.
