Skinwalkers

Halloween-month 2024 continues! Sort of a misinterpretation of Navajo traditions, Skinwalkers are similar to the cocept of werewolves or other animal-transformation mythologies. We will celebrate the fantastical and spooky elements of this lesser known tradition in honor of the month of creepy stuff.
