The way we hold our connections to earth and ancestor is via a spiritual umbilical cord that never severs. Although mother and child share essential nutrients and oxygen within the womb, the sharing of our ways of knowing never end. Each spun strand of yarn in the sash belt holds stories, chants and prayers that are essential to Native individuals. We continue to weave these environments to nurture the future of our children. The handwoven cotton or wool sash belt is a part of traditional attire in both Navajo and Pueblo men, women and children.
