  Rosabelle Teesyatoh Shepherd is a Dine' silversmith who resides in Sanders, Arizona. She says, "My family believes we are 5th generation silversmiths. I have been silversmithing for over 20 years. I specialize in silver and copper contemporary Navajo work. I enjoy working with turquoise as much as possible."
  
  The series at Grand Canyon National Park provides the opportunity for artisans from the park's 11 Traditionally Associated Tribes to share their history and traditional crafts with park visitors. Grand Canyon National Park is pleased to promote awareness and appreciation of the history and diverse cultures of the region. Our demonstrators help connect us to ancient peoples and provide insight into inter-tribal relationships.
  
  This series is made possible with grants from Grand Canyon Association and ArtPlace America.
