Navajo Corn Festival

[Riverkilt]

A yellow kilt (USA Kilts Loud MacLeod semi-trad) seemed the proper thing to wear to a Corn Festival. Was held this weekend at our local Navajo Heritage Center. Good corn fixin's for sure including piki bread (Hopi), kneel down bread (Navajo), roasted corn, corn stew, corn cake...sorta the Bubba Gump of corn...even was an elderly Navajo grandma with a "Run Forrest Run" t-shirt on.

Lots of great culural talks about the history of corn and local Native ways. Took a few pics.


This is the inside of a traditional Navajo hogaan with a loom used to weave wool rugs. Those are cedar logs folks, what a dreamy smell inside.

Here's a closer shot of the kilt with pleats in the wind. Very windy today, but kept it cool.
