Celebrating Dine' Culture
We provide space to promote and celebrate Dine' (Navajo) culture and traditions. Dine' artisans tell their story through their crafts, we exist to help share and honor the culture. As a young girl, the Chaha'oh was where stories were shared, crafts were traded, and meals were shared; today, I'm recreating the sense of home and kinship in the heart of the Valley of the Sun.
Embrace Artisan Heritage
Discover Traditional and Contemporary Dine' Artisan Crafts
Honoring Dine' Traditions
At The Shadehouse Center, we are committed to providing a platform for Dine' artisans to showcase their skills through their crafts, and to share their own stories. Our goal is to celebrate and uplift the rich cultural heritage of the Dine', all of which share stories of resilience and passion.
