Navajo Silversmithing: A Living Tradition

The Navajo, or Diné, are the largest Native American tribe in the U.S., with a nation spanning northeastern Arizona, northwestern New Mexico, and southeastern Utah. Silversmithing entered Navajo culture in the 1850s and 60s through contact with Mexican metalworkers and quickly became one of the tribe's most recognized art forms, prized today for its heavy-gauge silver and bold stamp work.
