Navajo Nation, Southwestern USA
We purchased souvenirs directly from the Navajo artisans, both within Monument Valley and in the town where we slept, Kayenta. Among the best souvenirs to bring home with you from Monument Valley are stunning Native American sterling silver jewelry, and Navajo sand paintings, which are exactly what they sound like: artwork made using different colors of sand.
If you visit Monument Valley and the surrounding area, please be sure to contact a Navajo tour guide and purchase your mementos from Navajo artisans. And don’t forget that you are a guest in their ancestral homeland!
It was a true privilege to spend a few days in this sacred and uplifting place.
