Ever since I can remember the people in my family have been 'adorned' in silver and turquoise jewelry. This is still true today, and as an adult I fully appreciate and adore such ways of being as a Navajo person.
 
I am blessed to have my maternal grandmother in my life now, for her stories of the family and the cultural ways of our Navajo people inspire my to keep working on instilling the Navajo traditions and practices in the 21st century.
