A detail view of "Pictograph #13" by Dan Namingha (Hopi-Tewa).
The artist calls this a very symbolic piece with references to his childhood home on First Mesa; family members; the sun, moon, water and earth; the Hopi cardinal directions; seeds; planting and growing; and the physical and spiritual worlds. Hummingbird Kachina (Tòotsa) is depicted at center.
This Millennium Falcon bracelet made of sand-cast silver, turquoise, and coral was first on display at the Museum of Northern Arizona 2019-2020 for "The Force is With Our People" exhibition.

Artists create, animals evolve, plants adapt and Indigenous cultures flourish. As the world changes, so too do the Museum of Northern Arizona (MNA) collections, which grow to reflect shifts in art, culture and science across the Colorado Plateau.
A new MNA exhibition, "Collecting in a Changing World," highlights recent acquisitions that enhance the museum’s research, exhibits and educational programs and offers a window into how people engage with changing environments.
