Nah-kev-ho-eyea-zim
I was going to post a Chirstmas theme picture, but at this point I think we are all have a Christmas hangover of sorts.
This is a Native American art piece outside the Denver Art Museum. The red sculptures represent ten tree forms arranged in a circular shape that is fifty feet in diameter. The trees are aligned to the summer solstice—on June 21, the sun rises in an opening to the east between the first and last trees.
Each tree addresses a specific theme, from conflict over resources to global cooperation among indigenous peoples. And the expression "Each tree addresses a specific theme, from conflict over resources to global cooperation among indigenous peoples. The Indian expression, "nah-kev-ho-eyea-zim" means “We are always returning back home again.”
Who knew?
