Special Events
FIBER AS RESISTANCE
Join us Saturday, April 11th, from 5-7PM for dinner served by Food Not Bombs Española, followed by a presentation and fundraiser hosted by community members organizing with the Black Mesa Solidarity Network, who have supported these families in resisting relocation for over a decade.
Weaving carries memory.
At Big Mountain, Diné weavers embody how land, culture, and tradition are inseparable. Weaving is not only an art form. It is a living connection to place, language, ceremony, and community.
This presentation looks at relocation as cultural genocide. When people are forced from their homelands, the loss is not only physical. Diné culture and religion are rooted in the land itself, and Big Mountain is central to that relationship.
These families persist in traditional lifeways by creating art and raising Navajo Churro sheep, despite the hardships of land and resource exploitation driven by extractive colonial systems on their homelands.
Protecting land is protecting culture.
You can purchase roving from Big Mountain and learn more about the resistance to relocation here.
*If you would like to donate ahead of the event, you can do so here. Cash will also be accepted day-of.
