Ravis Henry, Din茅,听Towering House Clan and born for the Coyote Pass-Jemez Clan, visited our campus early this semester on January 25 and 26 from Canyon de Chelly in Chinle, AZ. We were thrilled to host him at CNAIS and contribute to "The Navajo Night Sky" event for which he spoke at Fiske. Henry shared winter stories of the creation of the stars, as well as the Din茅 perspective of various constellations.听
