ART • READING • CULTURE
The Story
Diné artist Jenabah Yazzie worked with the NDN Girls Book Club and Eighth Generation to create a blanket design. The project brings together art, storytelling, family and community connections, and reading. It also supports Native young people as readers and storytellers. The project shows that artists can use their work to share culture, work with organizations, and help young people.
