On her quest to repair it, she meets a Moccasin Maker, a Potter, and a Stone Cutter and learns about the sacredness of the metate. This beautifully illustrated story is written in both English and Navajo. Author Vee Browne will discuss her authorship and the influence of Navajo traditions and artifacts; she encourages attendees to wear native dress. The hardcover book will be available for purchase and signing.
