14th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Navajo Grandmother
The portrait of this woman is not just any grandma… I want people to see my great-grandmother’s wisdom. Anna Beach is a woman who endured many years of hardship. Look into her eyes and she will tell you her story… Anna Beach is my great- grandmother. She is 87 years old. She is a Native American who is Todich’ii’nii that was born for ‘Ashiihnii. My great-grandmother is wise & very strong. Reflecting back on my youth, she was always outside with her livestock. She still enjoys being outdoors; always keeping busy by weaving rugs & tending to her animals or herding her sheep.
