Description
Gerald Lomaventema - Hopi Silversmith
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday — November 12, 13, 14, 2024: 9 am to 4 pm each day.
- Gerald Lomaventema shares his cultural connection to the canyon as a traditional Hopi silversmith. “It’s breath taking. It’s so big and vast, especially the area by Desert View. That’s where we have shrines and we still observe those shrines during our important religious activities we have here. It is still connected to us. Every part of that canyon is a very important part of our religious activities.”
- The Cultural Demonstration program provides an opportunity for park visitors and community members to interact with tribal artisans from Grand Canyon's traditionally associated tribes - and for them to share their history and crafts, along with the skills, knowledge, and efforts involved in creating their craft and art.
- This series is made possible with grants from Grand Canyon Conservancy.
