Edaakie
Like his parents, Dennis and Nancy Edaakie, Dale Edaakie is a master
of the art of inlay. However, he has distinguished himself by focusing
on representations of animals as opposed to the birds for which
his parents have become famous. His work is characterized by a high
degree of naturalistic detail, achieved by etching of the shell
or stone inlay.
Dale was the recipient of the prestigious Southwest Association
for Indian Art fellowship in 2002, which is awarded annually to
young Native American artists in recognition of their achievement
and promise.
