This year, the Festival is presenting TahNibaa Naataanii – an artist who creates with weavings and hand felting techniques to produce wearable art. As a young girl, TahNibaa’s paternal grandmother gave her the Navajo name of: TahNibaa Atlo’iigii, which means “coming into battle with weaving.” She believes it was her grandmother’s hope that she continue the tradition of weaving in their family. She is now a fifth-generation Navajo Weaver and represents the Many Hogan Clan and Coyote Pass Clans, and her maternal and paternal clans are the Mexican and Steep Rock Clans.
