Brian Yatsattie: Mopar Fordite, Sitting Bear

Brian Yatsattie: Mopar Fordite, Sitting Bear

Yat-saa-tee

First off, you may be wondering what the heck is fordite? Well, my friend, let me enlighten you. Fordite, also known as Detroit agate or motor agate, is actually layer upon layer of automobile paint that's built up over years and years in old factory booths. It’s a byproduct of automotive production from back in the day when cars were spray-painted manually. Now imagine taking these layers of vibrant colored paint and carving it into the shape of a majestic bear. It’s truly a work of art! 

Bear (Anshe): Bear was the principal animal for the Pueblo People and they are the most prevalent subject of Zuni fetishes. Bear fetishes are used for healing, protection, strength, journeying, mothering, hunting and gathering. Bear‚ hibernation reminds us of the value of going within.
