Embracing Native American Quilts

Abstract

My counseling practice guide that I found powerful to discuss is “Embracing Native American Quilts.” I chose this topic because growing up on the Navajo Nation reservation gifting quilts is culturally exceptional for graduations, birthdays, traditional ceremonies, and weddings. My focus is to create a colorful wall in Hulet Elementary School library located in Holbrook, Arizona, by using coloring pages on Native American quilts. Not only will my students be coloring their quilt designs but additionally I will read out loud about Native American quilts while students are designing their own quilts. Every student in second, third, fourth, and fifth grade classrooms will be given the opportunity to express, pattern, and fashion their own quilt design.
