"All scientists are skeptics if they’re any good, but they’re not stubborn about it," he said in a statement. "In science, you have to be able to change your mind when confronted with evidence.

i'm looking forward to the navajo basket exhibit that will open in the natural history museum of utah fall 2012. the stories of these baskets and the people who create them are fascinating. the art, the craft, the time, the dedication, the taboo, the tension, the renaissance. the above basket was woven by elsie holiday and is available at the twin rocks trading post. i love the stories so!
