The Navajo Tradition Behind the Craft

The Navajo Nation is the largest federally recognized tribe in the United States, with a reservation spanning parts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. Known to themselves as the Diné, meaning "the people," the Navajo have a rich artistic tradition that includes weaving, sandpainting, and silversmithing. Navajo silversmithing dates back to the mid-1800s, when the craft was first learned from Mexican and Spanish silversmiths and gradually adapted into a distinctly Navajo style marked by heavy-gauge silver, bold stamp work, and the incorporation of turquoise.
