HOMELAND
The land around my mother’s hogan is big.
It is still.
It has walls of red rocks.
And way, far off the sky comes down to touch the sands.
Blue sky is above me.
Yellow sand is beneath me.
The sheep are around me.
My mother’s hogan is near.

September 27, 2014Preview is from 9:00 AM-11:00 AM and the auction will start at 12:00 noon and go until all items are offered to the bidders.
The auctions are fund raising events and they enable us to, in part, support our scholarship program, support the park in its endeavors, and to fund other special events. The main purpose of each auction is to provide economic assistance to the artists and community.
The auctions have returned over $2,000,000 to the local communities through the artists who consign items into the auction. Native American artists including Navajo, Hopi, and other puebloan tribes. Generally we have 400+ items that are sold.
