About the Naasagó (moving forward) Ginew + Corey Begay Collaboration:
By happenstance we met Corey Begay - Diné (Navajo) artist - in Portland, ORE. Immediately, we were drawn to their unique skill set in articulating a contemporary Indigenous existence which is simultaneous informed by traditional teachings. It is this duality where many of us exist - living out our lives in a contemporary context, while being ever-informed by our traditional values and believes. Ultimately - we create, we exist, we move forward. This is our path.
Returning from the Warm Springs community in Central, ORE - we crested a hill on the road to be encountered by a large black bear walking Westward. No one was startled - looking at each other in this brief encounter and then moving forward as our paths diverged. This year we have been thinking about this encounter - about messengers, teachers, relatives, ancestors, and how we will one day be ancestors. How will we be remembered? What will we leave behind? In what ways will we do so?
Corey Begay says, "There isn't a direct translation of the word Naasgó in English. In Navajo, the primary meaning is "the action of moving forward" and it can also be used to describe persevering, taking steps, and sentiments like these. Below the Bear is the Land and above the bear is the Cloud, which can be seen in the day, and the Star, which can be seen in the night. Though the bear is usually a night-walker animal, the presence of the cloud here means that this bear is a lighter day-traveler.
The glasses signify modern culture, any living thing's character/personality. I like to use the glasses in my artwork as a somewhat of signature for myself because I wear glasses and that glasses allows one to look through a lens or frame for a better vision."

About Liz Pavlovic, the designer
Hi! I'm a freelance designer and illustrator based in Morgantown, West Virginia. I specialize in print design, branding, illustration, apparel graphics, and packaging.
My work is inspired by my experiences in and out of Appalachia — especially cryptids, folklore, and food. Since I can remember, I've been obsessed with color, typography, and illustration. I enjoy finding creative solutions to problems and have a deep love of wordplay and visual wit.
I graduated from West Virginia University in 2010 with a BFA in graphic design
(+ minor in creative writing.)
TL;DR: Wednesday Addams meets Willy Wonka

Gather
Like the piñon tree, members of the Navajo Nation gather resources to survive an increasingly precarious water supply. Diné artist Emma Robbins has gathered symbols of endurance for this design; a sáanii (maternal grandmother) scarf crossed by traditional sash belts used in ceremonies and childbirth. At the center, a young woman’s bracelet of silver is set with turquoise, a stone formed by rare rains flowing through arid layers of rock. A portion of blanket sales will support DigDeep’s Navajo Water Project.
