ECC equinox
มุมมอง 47ปีที่แล้ว
On the equinox the rising sun shines through a specially designed window in the Easton Collection Center at the Museum of Northern Arizona, sending a beam of light onto the center of the doors leading into the collection storage area. This special architectural feature was created at the request of the Native American consultants, so the objects would know the passage of time.

Happy slow art day
Do your research!! Those masks are worthless against a virus. PS Sun and fresh air are the best thing for your health. Use some common sense, don’t be sheeple! The sun is a disinfectant and the fresh air invigorates your body! You all look stupid in your garden! Ugh!
I really appreciate you're sharing. I want to learn how to do this. Thank you.
Thank you, sir, for making time to tell of a nearly forgotter art. Tap 'er lite.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello there my name is Pedro... I was hearing that you are trying to find a way to brocade the design on the weaving instead of embroidery. I know a way you can do that. And it's easy. I'm a weaver.
I say dam the damn Grand Canyon. Get over it hippies. There will still be wonderful ecosystems and biodiversity, it’ll just be under water. Plus more lake affect rain in the desert, we need as many damn dams in the desert as possible, beaver and man made. imo, any inland basin in a very low population area (human & animal) should be earth worked into a peat swamp, more vegetation, lake effect rain, carbon sequestration, easier animal migration, better soil, more water supply. It’s a huge win with little loss, mostly just reducing desert area.
Yucca and its uses
This is very educational, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful processes
Happy slow art day
Thank you so much! My whole backyard is full of yucca!
Oh the masks REDO PLEASE
Thank you for the demonstration. You are very talented. Why did you say the plant could be deadly?
BEAUTIFUL Beautiful baskets!
Well my girlfriend used for hot flush and pain related to menopause this is a very very good plant
I loved watching this and would like to se it done more close up but it lookes like you were weaving the last 3 sets of leaves each time to extend it. Is this right? I will try replicating this. I weave baskets from reeds, mullberry, maguey, corn husk, and carizo cane leaves. Im moving to ohio and theres a lot of sumac there so i would like to know that process. Id also like to visit and see how you do much of this and if you would like i could collect some sumac if possible for you to work with. The trip would be well worth the knoledge.
Beautiful!!❤❤❤I wanted to see the basket at the end! Sad.
He's wasn't weaving a basket. only making we call a doillie for setting hot pots on except the pots they made had bottoms that had no flat spot so if you sat the pot on a flat surface it would just fall over because the bottom was soaked like a ball? but if you center it in the ring it would give it a base so that it would sit upright. Also plunking a clay pot down on a rock with out something to pad it would possibly shatter it and pots took time to make so you wouldn't want to take a chance breaking it if you could set it down on something softer to protect it.
Reggaeton! Right on. :)😊
I'm just here for the hot blonde 😁

The Yucca flower is edible .Has a bitter taste to some.Some say taking off the inside pistols make it less bitter. Yucca flower in scrambled eggs
Did I hear you say volunteers? How can I become a volunteer?
Thanks much for posting this! I knew it was in the design of the building but have never seen it…
I love these videos. Would love more information on plants and medicine. Would also love video playlists to easily listen to hours at a time.
Very informative but Where are the Native People 🤔 speaking about their culture and traditions?
An old Spanish guy told me that you can take the flowers and fry them like corn tortilla chips to make migas
Migas! Oh my goodness! I'm so excited!!!
Thank you for educating the public on the Indian culture and traditions. Indian art is so beautiful. It is unfortunate that it may become a lost art.
It was terrible what Arizona State did to the Havasupai in terms of deceiving them. However, the Havasupai tribe starves abuses and tortures their pack animals! They just spent $10 million purchasing a cattle ranch and the Grand Canyon Caverns, while most of their people live in poverty and their animals suffer. I have zero sympathy for them.
That’s awsome
Ima watch this one i dk why it was recommended
wow!
I’m a basket maker spending the winter in New Mexico and wondered what materials the natives used. This video was perfect and timely.
This is by far the most substantial video on gourd processing i have come across. Thank you very much.
Great information! Thank You
Wow this is cool.
I really enjoyed your presentation, Ms. McCormack, your knowledge has most gratefully been absorbed by a person with much fewer discipline capabilities at present but gives an excellent appreciation for the younger generation's abilities to carry us all into the future, Thank You for your most studious demeanor, you are an asset to all that has an interest in this field of study.
Thank you! God Bless 🙏
