Minute Out In It: Leo Chee - Navajo Carver and Silversmith

Leo Chee has lived in Cameron, Arizona, a small community on the Navajo Nation just east of Grand Canyon, his whole life. He is self-taught in many traditional crafts such as silversmithing and wood-carving. "It's a lot of work. Especially the polishing, polishing a bracelet like this. Because that polisher spins real fast, and if you make a mistake it'll grab it and throw it at you!" Spend a Minute Out In It watching Leo work at Desert View Watchtower as part of the park's Cultural Demonstration Series.

I have one of your wood carvings I bought probably 15 yrs ago. I love it. It is called "Medicine Woman". I love her, she brings me so much joy.
