Indian Recording



Indian Technology week continues here at OPOD with this wonderful picture of an Indian in the Southwest making a recording of his voice. The man pictured is Miguelito, and he is Navajo. No other details on the picture are available.

    I was hoping for a Sunday "domistic update."

    2. I hadn't even thought of that.
      There just wasn't anything there that peak my interest.
      But I figured that I would let PJM know I looked at his OPOD.

      But ENM, now that you have brought it up!!

      "We want a domistic update".

  4. There are 2 blogs that will not allow me to make comments - OPOD is one of them. Other blogs are fine. I can't do it on my laptop or my iPad. I wonder if others have this problem or if PJM has some setting that blocks certain computers. I am emailing this to a friend to copy/paste it. Miguelito was a Navajo Chanter (which is probably why he is making a recording) and his wife was an artist. They both worked for Harvey Company. When I taught 1st grade in AZ we had an AZ Standard that required us to teach a lesson on a famous Navajo.

  9. I'm intrigued by the wall behind him. It is obviously logs on top? Can anyone tell me what I am looking at?

    1. This is a traditional Navajo hogan. The logs at top are cedar laid on top of the vertical cedar posts
