Dawn of a New Day
Greene Family Photograph Collection
One of the things the Arthur "Art" H. Greene family treasured most was their familial relationship with the Navajo and Hopi people. Art's cousin Harry Goulding began the Dine' connections in 1921 and those deep connections continued as many Navajo families lived and worked with the Greene family. Art's son A. H. "Bill" Greene, Jr. along with his wife Evelyn and daughter Judi carried on that history by living and working on the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations. Lifetime connections with Indian families began for the Greenes in the early 1940's and continue to the present day. Navajos, Max Johnson and family, Nanebah Clah, Francis Toya, the Frank Carl Todacheenie (Frank was a Codetalker in WWII) family, Curley Tso, the John Cabone family, the David K. Begay family, the Dale Tadytin family, the Many Horses' family, Shonie Keith, the George Dewakaku family (Tewa), and Fred Kabotie (Hopi), Oswald "White Bear" Fredericks(Hopi) are just a few of the special Indian people the Greene family hold dear. Due to the trust developed in the relationships, the Greenes were invited to experience many tribal spiritual ceremonies such as Navajo Sand Painting Healing ceremonies, Hopi Snake Dances and Butterfly Dances, Navajo Sweat Lodges, Navajo Kinaaldas, Navajo Squaw Dances and Yeibichai dance.
