My Photo

Hopi Indian Reservation, Arizona

  • Swhp704
    The Hopi have restrictions of where and what you can photograph. My guide made sure that I did not take pictures of anything taboo. I was introduced to kachina carvers, pointed out ancient pictographs on canyon walls and showed me his cornfield during a drought year. Photography was allowed for all these subjects.

Native American Medicine

  • Pppf114
    Modern and traditional medicine men along with powerful potions from yellow bee pollen to Corn Mountain. Medicine men use their special abilities to channel medicine, or power, to influence events as well as to heal the sick. In many cases, the word "medicine" is interchangeable with the word "sacred".

Those "Kachina dolls" are of atrocious quality and should never be used in a photo as items in a Native American Decor theme.

They don't appear to be carved by Hopis or any of the pueblo tribes.

Here's a hint - if the hands are way out of proportion to the body, its drugstore quality and should be avoided.

Genuine Hopi craftsmanship will have the hands in correct proportion. This is only one detail to look for in quality carvings.

Good luck with your project, I would lose the dolls you have in these pictures, they're not worth the $35.00 you paid for them, if you paid more ... well lessoned learned. I wouldn't pay any more than $25.00 for these, which were probably carved by Navajos.

The other day I was randomly looking over my Amazon profile, and found a list I made of products that help build fine-motor skills in babies, toddlers, and children. I wrote it in 2007 when Jake was 5 and in still in Occupational Therapy - we were really focusing at the time on his fine motor skills. I owe a lot of what I know about such things to our lovely O.T. Rachael, and to many of the books I have listed to the right.

I think a lot of people would be surprised how easy it is to start including fine-motor activities in playtime . . . especially since so many really fun things help to build those skills! Many of you are probably already doing some of these activities with your children and not realizing how great they are for development i think so.

Thank you for your interest in my article titled "Home Decorating Native American Style". Is there anything in particular that you would like additional information on? I plan to write more about this in a future article and any feedback would be very helpful.

You probably should have had a poll about whether to spend the money on a red playing surface. If Boise State's blue surface shows up badly on television imagine a bright red surface. Yikes

A wise guy has learned to tolerate other folks, so he can naturally lead a pleased lifestyle. He understands to always keep a coronary heart of conscience and never to spread others’ blunders. Did you concur with me?
