CRIT Artisan Thank You
As part of the Colorado River Indian Tribes Library/Archives activities, this past month in conjunction with the WE SHALL REMAIN, an American Experience series on Native History, which was aired on the local public television, the staff showcased local Native American Artsians. Every week a panel consisting of local artsians share stories of who inspired them to perpetuate the art of Mohave/Chemehuevi Beadwork, Chemehuevi Basketry, Painting, Mohave Gourds, Mohave/Hopi Pottery, Hopi and Navajo Silversmith, Navajo Flutes, Traditional Dress Making, and Navajo Rug Weaving. These weekly programs were successful in meeting the needs for not only ythe artisan but were also beneficial for the community as a whole.
The library staff would like to convey their appreciation to those following individuals who made this event unique: Sugie Fisher, Lynette Stevens, Buddy Polacca, Pete Reyna, Bonita Fernandez, Stacia Bailey, John Scott, Sr. Eddy Fisher, Mary Claw, Geneva Moore, Veronica Homer, Colleen Humeumptewa, Susan Welsh, Fred Nelson, and Delan Carter. THANK YOU, for your willingness to come and share your stories.
Sincerly,
Amelia Flores,
CRIT Library/Archive Director and Staff
