  • The principal part of the traditional squash blossom necklace is the Naja. It is believe that the Soutthwestern Indians first saw this ornament on the horse bridles of the Spanish Conquistadors in the late 1500s and early 1600s. Captured or traded, these ornaments soon graced the necks of the local Native Americans. Their acquisition was a matter of pride, and as the generations came and went, the najahe or naja became symbolic and was associated through ceremony with crop fertility. The Navajo word for the squash blossom bead is yo ne maze disya gi, which means simply -bead that spreads out-.
