The Story

On one end of the bracelet, a lightning bolt, clouds, and rain symbols appear above a kiva. The opposing end features prayer feathers, reinforcing themes of reverence and offering. Dawahoya’s hallmark clarity and balance are on full display in this powerful scene of communal tradition and sacred ceremony.
