Honoring Heritage, Crafting Beauty.

The luxury ends of our wool locs are made using a very rare breed of sheep called the Navajo Churro sheep. We source this fleece from a non-profit organization called the Hozho Voices of Healing. They are an organization based out of New Mexico, with a mission to support sustainable living across the Dine (Navajo) community. Over the past few years, the Hozho Voices of Healing has worked tirelessly on Land Restoration, no-till gardening practices, animal husbandry, workshops, and retreats, that contribute meaningfully to the Dine Community.

A History of Survival

Once, the Navajo Churro sheep ranged across the Southwest, in herds estimated to total

500,000 or more. These sheep had become an important part of the Dine way of life, through

use of their meat, milk, and wool. The Navajo Churro wool became widely used in Navajo and

Hispanic Rio Grand weaving. This all was not by accident; the Dine had worked for hundreds of

years to perfect the breed to do well in the dry climate.

In a horrific effort to destroy the Dine culture and people, the US government began a campaign to slaughter vast populations of the sheep. By 1970, only an estimated 450 Navajo Churro sheep remained. A movement began in the late 70’s to reestablish the breed. Thanks to the Navajo Sheep Project and others in the community, they have successfully kept the Navajo Churro sheep from extinction. While still rare, there are now an estimated up to 8,000 Navajo Churro sheep registered in the US. The Hozho Voices of Healing is utilizing the Navajo Churro sheep to re-establish the practices, culture, and traditions in the Dine community
