Chinle in the Summer

June 12th, 2010

The summer months are heating up in Tucson, and we are heading north to Chinle for our workshops.  At the last couple workshop, my horse Miss Rogers, had a baby.  She is a beautiful pinto and was born on Mother’s Day.  We named her, Tara.

Traditional Dine (Navajo) Healing Ceremonies

April 8th, 2010
During our last workshop session in Chinle, I had my first experience of watching Alfred Claw, a traditional Navajo medicine man, perform a doctoring of a person with kidney disease.  It was interesting to watch Alfred using the fire to diagnose the illness.
