Description
This project creates economic opportunity for Diné shepherds, increasing the value/marketability of their Navajo-Churro wool. The project brings Diné grown Navajo-Churro wool products to the e-commerce space, currently dominated by non-Navajo producers. The project further supports/leverages the work being done by DBI to preserve traditional arts and cultural practices.
