About the book >.>.> MY GRANDMOTHER was a weaver my grandfather was a medicine man. They taught me to see things to observe” Jack To Baahe Gene remembers. “While I was growing up they were teaching me art with everything they did. They would say ‘See the trees and plants are moving. They are alive.’ We’d look at the clouds and the mountains. Now my art is based on all those things but clouds are not just clouds anymore.. I’m going beyond what my grandparents taught me. I now strive for the soul of clouds and mountains.” I remember… The words come up again and again as the Navajo artists in the pages of Enduring Traditions: Art of the Navajo share their art and the dreams behind it. Memories may well be the strength of Navajo culture. In the world of the Din? (the People) everything is interrelated and connected. As artists reach into the past for inspiration they develop a better understanding of and appreciation for the culture that inspired them in the first place. “It is through my art” says Beverly Black- sheep “that I’ve come to realize a deep apprecia- tion for my heritage and the importance of preserving that heritage for generations to come.
