Navajo word "Hózhó" pronounciation aid.

"Everything that is good; the concepts in Navajo of beauty, perfection, harmony, goodness, normality, success, wellbeing, blessedness, order, and ideal."

Handbook of North American Indians Vol. 10 Southwest, Gary Witherspoon, Language and Reality in Navajo World View.

 
Navajo word "Hózhó" certainly describes the national historic site's long time Navajo rug weavers, now all retired.

     Mary Lee Begay wove at Hubbell for over 34 years, Evelyn Curley for 30 years, and Helen Kirk for 25 years. During their tenures, several million people watched these artists work at their craft, providing vistors an appreciation for this mystical and sacred art, an art form not often observed in progress otherwise.

     Friends of Hubbell acknowledges their unique service and dedicates college scholarships in their names.
