    About the Book

    Edit

    Beginning with "Cat's" induction into the Southern Cheyenne Warrior Shield Society, the Tsosies describe the Native American gourd dance and "Cat's" participation in this historic ceremony. They tell readers how to make a gourd garden and reveal their process for turning the gourds into rattles. Locked down during the Covid-19 pandemic, they describe how they created, marketed and sold their rattles to help the Diné (Navajo) people. Final pages of their book offer readers a photo gallery of favorite rattles, used ceremonially, as percussion instruments, or appreciated as art objects.
