The reproductive contact, between the two, is the four kinds of lightning. This brings about all the reproduction of all vegetation or plant life. All other life forms depend on plants and vegetation from their continued existence. Without what mother earth and fathers sky produce all other life forms could not exist.

Mother earth is considered a living being with a spirit, emotions, mind and she has her physical form.

She is called mother because she gives life. All life forms will at sometime when they die give back to mother earth what she gave them while they walked on her surface in joy, happiness, confidence, and peace.

Meet The Artist

Navajo Traditional Teachings Originals

All of our pieces listed as "Navajo Traditional Teachings Originals" are either made by Wally or his son Shane.

Wally was born an artist. He learned to Silversmith from his father and has enjoyed many forms of art throughout his life including singing, playing the guitar, painting, carving, silversmithing, beading, and much more.

Since 2016 after his stroke, he has lost most mobility in his left hand which has caused him to slow down in creating beautiful jewelry. It has also stirred the desire for him to teach his talents to his children.

Shane has inherited a lot of his artistic talents from his father and practices and learns new skills constantly. He finds Native American jewelry-making and other skills he has learned from his father very rewarding and loves sharing them with you.
