🐑 A Heartfelt Thank You from Dine Be'Iina, Inc. (DBI) 🐑
As we reflect on this past weekend's Annual Sheep Is Life Celebration, our hearts are filled with gratitude and appreciation.
First and foremost, we extend our sincere thanks to the Navajo Nation Museum for graciously hosting Dine Be'Iina, Inc.'s Annual Sheep Is Life Celebration. Your support and hospitality provided a wonderful space for our community to gather, learn, share, and celebrate the enduring importance of sheep, fiber arts, and the Navajo way of life.
We are deeply grateful to the many individuals who helped make this event possible. To our dedicated event staff, volunteers, Sheep Is Life Committee members, current DBI Board of Directors, and Board Advisory Members, thank you for your countless hours of service, planning, and commitment. This event was truly made possible through 100% volunteerism, and we could not have succeeded without each and every one of you.
A special thank you goes out to all of our vendors, presenters, demonstrators, artists, weavers, ranchers, and exhibitors who generously shared their time, talents, knowledge, and passion. Your participation added richness and meaning to the celebration and helped create a memorable experience for all who attended.
The Sheep Is Life Committee is made up of energetic and talented individuals, including sheep and fiber arts enthusiasts, Navajo weaving artists, Navajo ranchers, and young people who contribute their skills in marketing, graphic design, and technology. The incredible talent represented throughout this event was truly inspiring. Every individual, organization, and small business contributed to our success, and it means more to us than words can express.
Together, we continue to advance our mission to promote, preserve, and protect the Navajo way of life, our Navajo culture, our Navajo language, our fiber arts traditions, and our sheep culture and husbandry practices.
With the guidance of Hózhó, we will continue moving forward in a positive way, working to ensure these traditions remain strong for future generations. We look forward to gathering again next year and continuing this important work together.
If you are interested in helping plan next year's Sheep Is Life Celebration or would like to learn more about serving on the Dine Be'Iina, Inc. Board of Directors, we currently have board vacancies available. We welcome your interest and encourage you to reach out with a statement of interest.
