Saturday and Sunday, May 28 - 29, 2011
The A:shiwi or Zuni people, an integral part of the Colorado Plateau and the sacred landscape of the San Francisco Peaks, share Zuni language, lifeways, traditional music, and dances. Enjoy the Olla Maidens who dance with Zuni pots balanced on their heads, the Nawetsa Family Dancers who perform traditional Zuni dances, and music from the Zuni Pueblo Band. Learn about the shaping, forming, and painting of traditional Zuni pottery. And be amazed and inspired by weavers, inlay jewelers, fetish carvers, and painters. See MNA’s newest exhibit A:shiwi A:wan Ulohnanne—The Zuni World. This event is created in partnership with the A:shiwi A:wan Museum and Heritage Center in Zuni, New Mexico.

78th Annual Hopi Festival of Arts and Culture :: The Oldest Hopi Show in the World
Saturday and Sunday, July 2-3, 2011
A Fourth of July tradition since the 1930s, award-winning Hopi artists from the twelve Hopi villages bring the mesas to Flagstaff. The exquisite work of carvers, painters, jewelers, potters, quilters, and basket and textile weavers fill the more than 55 artists’ booths. Visitors gain insight from the cultural presentations, storytelling, music, and dances that fill the Museum grounds during the July 4th weekend. Take a taste of Hopi bread or piki baked in outside ovens. Watch Hopi pottery being shaped, painted, and traditionally fired. Walk the Museum’s Rio de Flag Nature Trail with a Hopi medicine woman. And take part in discussions about the Hopi values of humility, cooperation, respect, balance, and earth stewardship.
