Navajo Day at the Eiteljorg

Haven't been to the Eiteljorg since a fourth-grade field trip? Maybe this will draw you in. Next Saturday, April 12, is Navajo Day at the museum. Activities include:

• A Navajo rug trunk show.
• Demonstrations of Navajo weaving, drum-making, sheep shearing and silver-smithing.
• A cooking demonstration (Navajo fry bread).
• Lectures on weaving and Navajo code talkers.
• A tour of Navajo objects in the galleries.
• Hands-on activities and several film showings.

Sounds like fun! I tried authentic fry bread on a trip out west last year, and it should be worth the visit to the museum on its own.
