Dine' means "The People". It is emblematic of people's names for themselves throughout this planet. After a primary identification of "I", typically the next qualifier in personhood is, "Who are my people?" In this painting, Leland Holiday captures the essence of both the Navajo person and who they are as a collective.

About the artist:
Leland Holiday - Navajo Folk Artist:As a young boy, Leland was inspired by the paintings of his uncle, Howard Holiday. He started doing pencil drawings when he was seven years old. Thirsting to learn more about art, he started checking out library books. He loved seeing the work of Picasso, Jackson Pollack, and Georgia O'Keefe, but was especially blown away by the work of Jean Michele Basquiat. See full biography | See all items by Leland Holiday

The Navajos
are the Arabs of the American desert. In some respects they resemble the nomad
tribes of the Kurdistan Mountains in Asia Minor. Racially, however, the Navajos
are of different origin. They are classified as belonging to the red race, unlike
the Arabs and Kurds, who are white. It is remarkable to see such distinctly different
people in such widely remote parts of the world carrying on a similar type of
life, dictated by environment? More about this legend
