Andrew Henry, Navajo Indian

I had previously mentioned in my blog that I was helping an out-of-state acquaintance who is a silversmith artist.  Well, the Executive Director of Placer Arts, Angela Tahti, Called me on Monday, and found a spot in the schedule for my artist friend, Andrew Henry.  It is TODAY!  So at 4:00 p.m. at The Arts Building, located at 808 Lincoln Way, Auburn, Andrew will give his presentation on his Navajo people who live in Canyon de Chelly and display his story telling jewelry.  Here is the write-up and photo of Andrew.

Andrew Henry, Navajo Indian - "Canyon de Chelly StoryTeller"

Canyon de Chelly, Arizona has a living community of Navajo people who are connected to a landscape of great historical and spiritual significance. Canyon de Chelly is unique among National Park Service units, as it is comprised entirely of Navajo Tribal Trust Land that remains home to the canyon community. National Parks Service works in partnership with the Navajo Nation to manage park resources and sustain the living Navajo community.

Andrew Henry is a silversmith jeweler and is in northern California for a brief visit this week. We are happy to have him come on short notice to give a presentation on his people and his story telling jewelry that he makes and will also have on display for sale.  

Please join with us this Wednesday, December 5th, at 4:00 p.m. at The Arts Building, located at 808 Lincoln Way, in Auburn.
