Gil utilizes watercolors, acrylics and color pencils to create bold expressions tying back to his Diné (Navajo) culture, especially geometric designs inspired by Navajo rug weavers and the open landscape vistas of his home in southeastern Utah.
Presenter: Davina Smith
On August 13th, 2019, a Diné woman began a 330-mile prayer run to bring a medicine bundle from Bears Ears National Monument to the Salt Lake City capitol for the United Nations Civil Society Conference, ending finally at the historic Warm Springs building in the heart of Salt Lake, and she didn’t stop there. Davina then ran as the first Diné (Navajo) woman to seek election to the Utah State House of Representatives. She is originally from Monument Valley, Utah, belongs to the Ta’chii’ nii (Red Running into the Water) clan, and was born to the Ta’ baa ha’ (Edgewater) clan.
