Traditional Dine' Weaver, Tasheena Littleben

Despite a successful sales career that took her overseas, Tasheena Littleben felt like something was missing. So she left the city and returned to the Navajo Nation to her childhood home in Rock Point, Arizona, to search for the one thing she didn't have. Sitting on the deck in front of her home, her gaze wanders over the expansive landscape of red mesas and impossibly big sky. She knows this place better than herself: Knows which plants produce the best dyes, knows the best wool comes from the sheep who've grazed this land, and knows that sitting under a tree working the loom brings her a deep sense of peace. She embarked on this journey of self-discovery three years ago and has pulled knowledge from any source available (including YouTube) to re-learn the traditional ways of carding and dyeing wool--only to discover there was still something missing from her education. Sometimes you return home to educate, and sometimes you return to be educated. Join me as I get to know Tasheena at a pivotal point in her journey.
