Artist Tana Otole

Basket weaver, beadwork, moccasins, pottery 

Daanzho my name is Tana Otole I come from the Llanero clan of the Jicarilla Apache and Navajo. I was born in Shiprock, N.M. and raised in Dulce, New Mexico. I learned to do beadwork, loom work, and some basketry. I have been doing beadwork for 3 years now. I enjoy family time and teaching my children the traditional Jicarilla culture. On my Navajo side we have a farm and grow corn & vegetables during the summer. I enjoy learning new traditional crafts and our Apache language.
