Dream Catchers

About 20 years ago, I was able to visit the Chaco ruins and Navajo Reservation in New Mexico. In a place that is pretty close to the middle of nowhere in the continental US is a little town called Tohatchi. This is where you will find the St. Mary Mission.

One of the things that the St. Mary Mission does is promote Navajo Arts and Crafts in which the proceeds help to

  • Provide clothing and Christmas toys for those in need
  • Donate blankets, hats and gloves to the needy
  • Attend to the needs of the homeless at the Mother Teresa's Sisters' shelter in Gallup, NM
  • Provide newborn clothing to new mothers
  • Provide financial assistance to the elderly

I bought the Arrow Head Dream Catcher from their store a few years ago, and have it hung on my bedroom wall. The craftsmanship is excellent.

If you are interested in Navajo Arts and Crafts, please visit the St. Mary Mission on-line store.
