Concho for my hat

At a festival in Acoma today, I purchased a Concho for my hat. It is round, decorative silver about the size of a quarter that is often seen on belt buckles in a larger version . It represents a 'hogan' or home of a Navajo family. Kathy, the wife of the artist sewed it on my hat for me.

Acoma Pueblo

Side trip to oldest consistently used pueblo dwellings. The landscape is stunningly beautiful, and the pueblo can barely be seen on top of the Mesa where it has been occupied by what are now the Navajo for about 1,000 years. A Navajo elder visited our camp tonight - very gracious, well spoken and welcoming. The amazing adventure continues.
