This staff is hand made by Wally and tells the emergence story, the origin of all life, through the four planes of existence.
These staffs are truly one of a kind, no two are alike. NOT AS PICTURED, but all sort of similar. It takes Wally about a week to make one staff. Each staff has designs and colors that tell the story but there are some variations.
The staff pictured is a basic example of what the staffs look like. The staff also comes with a write up of the emergence story, on paper suitable for framing.

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.
