DINÉ
My piece is of siblings who are wearing traditional attire. They hold the four sacred plants that provide life and sustains the people. With a rainbow that will provide guidance and protection throughout life. My tribe is matrilineal and kinship based. The setting is early morning, we are always told to pray before the sunrises as this will make you a strong individual. The four sacred colors represent the sacred mountains from each direction. This is where we get our strength from and the Medicine of Native Youth will carry on our teachings, language, and way of life.
