Dibé bei iiná—Sheep is Life: The introduction of sheep to the Diné People was a pivotal point in Diné history. We are the only people in North America who have adjusted to new life ways within a few centuries since colonial contact. From grazing through the changing of seasons to weaving durable blankets, learn about the pastoral and shepherding life ways of the Diné and our relation with sheep and wool.
