- **Event Description**: April 16 | Navajo Stories About Ancient Astronauts and the Gila Monster by Pete Sands

Pete Sands brings Diné storytelling to life through the warm, playful humor of his Uncle Al and his unforgettable cast of puppets on his hit TV show Navajo Highways. Drawing from traditional oral narratives, the series explores legendary figures such as the Hero Twins—monster slayers who restore balance to the world—Coyote, the clever and chaotic trickster whose missteps teach hard lessons, and White Shell Woman, a sacred maternal figure tied to creation and harmony.

Through humor, song, and conversation, Sands guides viewers through Diné teachings about how the cosmos came to be, the emergence of the people into this world, and the ongoing responsibility to live in balance with the universe. Rooted in tradition yet told with contemporary creativity, Navajo Highways keeps ancient stories moving forward, one road at a time.
