Bio: Anthony Redfeather Nava is from the Pascua Yaqui Nation of Arizona. He was born in Germany, his father was in the military and was based there. His father's name is Everado Nava and is from the Pascua Yaqui tribe and his mother's name is Mary Nava Fraire and she is from the Keetoowah Band of Cherokee of Oklahoma. His father was transferred to Kentucky and Anthony moved to Southern Indiana when he married his wife, Shannon. Anthony was taught in the traditional manner of Native American crafts by his grandmother and other elders and artisans in the community, in beadwork, leather crafting, painting and woodworking. In his mixed media repertoire he explores the use of traditionally made items with blending contemporary mediums. He makes traditionally made river cane flutes in which the cane comes from locally grown areas in Southern Indiana. His paintings depict traditional native life using acrylics; also his bead and leather work mirrors that of his ancestors that came before him keeping his native heritage alive.
