As I Walk in Beauty 

As I walk, as I walk

The universe is walking with me

In beauty it walks

before me

In beauty it walks

behind me

In beauty it walks

below me

In beauty it walks

above me

Beauty is on every side

As I walk, I walk with Beauty.

Traditional Navajo Prayer

 

Giving

 

High Desert Concepts donates five percent of its profits to Navajo educational, cultural, and artistic projects.

In past years, HDC made a donation to the Southwest Learning Center, an educational non-profit resource that serves the multi-cultural population of the Southwest. Its programs include high school classes in weaving given on the Navajo reservation by a Gallup Ceremonial prize-winner. As part of the course, students take field trips to local sheep owners and learn to card, spin and weave in the traditional Navajo way, helping to reinvigorate a tradition that is so important to Navajo culture.

We have also sponsored a young Navajo student through Futures for Children.

If you would like to learn more about these programs or would care to make a donation, please contact HDC.
