Blackhosre Mitchell, an accompished teacher, famous author of 'Miracle Hill', and practitioner of traditional healing ceremonies, invites us into his Hogan on the Navajo Reservation. Here we learn the art of making Navajo pottery in the traditional way, as it has been handed down through the generations. From digging the clay on his ancestral land to the complex process of earth-firing the pottery, every aspect of the craft is explained patiently step by step in his native tongue Navajo. Blackhorse also explains the meaning and origins of symbols found on old pottery artifacts as well as their application in modern times. This film has been officially accredited by the curator of the Navajo Nation Museum, Clarenda Begay.
