Sheepherding - Navajo Traditions Monument Valley
Sheepherding is an important part of the Navajo culture and has been for centuries. In 1990, we had the privilege of filming Susie Yazzie enjoying the morning with the flock in Monument Valley.
Sheep are probably the most important livestock for the Navajo, providing wool for rug weaving and food. Monument Valley is the Navajo homeland and part of the Navajo Nation.
