Mr. Lister, I heard you preach in Norwalk, nearly 35 years ago. I was just a teenager then, but I have never forgotten you. People still talk about you to this day. You were one of the best preachers they EVER heard. Life-changing. I wish we had that again. Those were special times. They can never return, but you made an impact for time and eternity. Best wishes to you, friend.
What happened to him? Why did he turn away from a Holy Calling?
@@rdc782 That is a question that only he can answer.
I just heard the 1978 bible conference. Powerful preaching!👍
This craft is really something special and I want to say that there are still young people like myself (21) that have been trying to seek out the traditional ways to silversmith. Truly am blessed to live in New Mexico
Just started making Turquoise pieces with leather and silver wire. This whole channel brings me places I can’t drive to every day from Rochester NY, but as a Kickapoo who’s lived in Arizona, my spirit needs stories like this
absolutely love everything about this interview. my mother is navajo but was adopted off reservation when she was a baby. it’s so difficult to find information online about navajo culture, especially from the people themselves. the only thing really connecting me to my culture growing up was pow wows and other festivals where I could buy handmade native jewelry. turquoise has always been a favorite. also ernie lister is so lovely for sharing his story and the history of navajo silversmithing. I was always curious why older jewelry was so big and heavy! 🤩
Thank you for this wonderful history lesson. Much appreciated.
This is amazing. What a gift to have heard your story. Thank you.
Knowledge is the greatest gift man can bestow on another man! Too pass that Knowledge onto a younger generation is even greater! 😇
He has such a good memory. It's not often you meet people this sharp. And he's just talking off the cuff, no notes or anything 😮
Absolutely marvelous video. I enjoyed it immensely. A historian with a wonderful talent. Im so happy to have found this. Sincerely from a old man in Kansas! Thank you for sharing your time and talent.
Great history class, thank you Maestro!!!
Very interesting history lesson, thank you very much.
Ernie, such a great speaker and very informative. Thanks so much for taking the time to enlighten us.
Genuine! Great man and mentor
Ernie Lister, this is the best history of Navajo silver I have ever heard. I am a Navajo metalsmith. I have silversmiths in my kin. I had heard that Navajo silverwork was partly created because the Spaniards were run out and their silver money was no longer worth more than its raw material. True?
I loved hearing Mr Lister's stories and about his lineage, thank you for sharing that.
I'm a silversmith in Tasmania, and I feel that lack of history in my work. My teachers have all been online, many steps removed from me. There's been no one standing at my shoulder to say "next time, do it this way". I'm sad for that.
I hope your tradition carries on strong
Thank you for the video. Admire your work and appreciate all the historical background. Very best wishes from Wisconsin.
I met Mr. Lister at his store in Prescott, AZ. He’s a very nice man, and it was so fascinating to learn about Navajo culture, and the traditional way of making jewelry.
アーニーリスターさん、特別なお話しをありがとうございます。貴方のジュエリーはインディアンジュエリーのなかでもすこぶる特別だと常々感じていました。身につけていると、何か違う…。その訳がこの動画で知れてとてもありがたいです。配信者様、ありがとうございます。
So interesting how the talented people made beautiful silver jewelry.
This was a wonderful video. A'HO!
I could listen to your words 24/7🙏🏼

This is a glorious story Mr. Ernie. Thank you for keeping your lineage in process!!!
Wow so knowledgeable
Greetings from Finland. I´m 58 years old guy and i have started to make silver rings and leather cuffs as hobby. I have always admired Native Americans jewelry and i have bought some also.
I like silver and turquoise. I have made rings for my friends and my wife, of course. Not so much though, as i said, i am a hobbyist and silver is so expensive today. I have using mainly sand casting.
I usually make a 3D .STL file in my computer and then print it with my 3D printer. Then i use that model in sand casting. Then i saw a video from Aaron Anderson, a Navajo silversmith and he used a method called, Tufa-casting. I was immediately sold. The downside is that i can´t get the Tufa stone or blocks here in Finland and i don´t know if any one who sells it in USA and ships overseas. Perhaps some day. You are making very beautiful jewelry. Thank you for this video.
What a lovely treasure this man and his work and this interview is. Thank you so much.
I watched half the video got off track and came back this video was so good and informative thank you!
A lot of knowledge being past on in this video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Amazing storytelling & very knowledgeable… thank you 🙏
Wonderful! I learned a lot and thank you for sharing it with all of us!❤
They make the best studs for earrings their my favorite
Wonderful Historical Lesson my friend 👍 Good Medicine ❤️ In 1943’ My Grandfather employed a Navajo Family to help work on His Bean farm in Dove’ Creek Co. My 88 years old Aunt told me how as a young girl she remembers the Navajo Man. She said his Name was Johnny Blue’ Thanks for sharing this🇺🇸
That was a great job, thank you so very much. Valuable lesson for me was wear my craft ♥️
Lots of knowledge imparted here!
this was so great.
Fantastic video.
Came across this video. I also attended some of your church services in Gallup. Always wondered what happened with you.
You make awsome jewelry.
The spirit of poverty does NOT live here lol! I love Navajo stories & history. My grandmother on my fathers side is from the Island of St. Vincent, but if you were to see photographs of her, you would think she was some sort of Navajo Indian or along those lines. We are all tied together and one spiritual being! Thank you for these lessons.
Thank you.
..I didn’t go to school and I didn’t make it up…Thas tha real thing…dope sht..
Amazing
Do you show your works at the indian gathering in santa fe
WOnderful
I have a silver and Turquoise watch band I bought which had the attachments for holding the watch broken off. I had it repaired by a Native American silversmith who did a great job. You can't tell it was ever broken. The watch has STERLING (and a symbol that looks like a batarang with no head) and the initial E B. Can anyone help me ID this artist?
Hi Ernie, John was getting out some of your piceces and counting his blessings, so I went on internet to look you up and found this video. Great video.
Since the images on silver craft and the weight changed with commercialism, what does true silver pieces look like made by native Americans?
Mr. Lister, are there still pieces made by Atsidi San himself? Doc Phil
Also wondering if Atsisi San was a medicine man and or chief.
Nakai Tsosi !!!!
I remember him preaching from the book of revelation on the rez.
good story
So how did the original native silver artists back turquoise that was too thin and fragile to cab?
Don't be brainwashed and call the Diné people "marauders" or "wild indians". Thank you for history.
Can’t deny that we were raiders and fighters and that those words just so happen to occasionally fit 🤷🏽
How can I find a teacher?
Got to thunder bird supplies in Gallup NM there’s a lot of silver smith that go there to buy the supplies.. u can probably find a teacher there
I know of my Navajo lineage dating back to 1580, thanks to Catholic Fransican missionaries documents that's archived in Mexico City, MX. In the 1990s, Mr. lister was a Christian preacher in Gallup, NM with 1000s of followers. Denied his traditions then, now he preaches Navajo metal workings and ceremonies. I regret following his teachings 20 years ago.
Beautiful. I'm doing something
I agree with you guys, but if he did not say he was a Navajo silversmith and the background was a sushi restaurant, we’d just as well have acquainted him as being the sushi chef by appearance!! Like if you agree.
14:00 Watch out Prescott, Ernie's coming for you ;)
Never seen monument valley so we went, just outside the place they had alot of Navajo jewelry for sale,me&wife went into 3 or 4 of these places,every time we entered Navajo salesperson would just look up an say hello an went back to what their doing,but if it was a white person they were all like "hello, how are you an where you from...we never went into another place... I'm Navajo,I'm assuming they think we're all broke so they won't bother with us..this is not the first time this has happened
Everyone's culture is a mess. Before we become too worshipful, we should recognize that this mess is everywhere. Like Coyote...
That's a shame, I've had the same thing happen until they find out you know something then they change their tune. Lol..
Holy people wanna give me more turquoise ahé'héé diiyin diné'einlini,
I wasn't aware the Navajo Nation had ever been marauders. That's like a raider, they killed thousands of White women, babies and elderly. I read in the native history museum in Ignacio Co. that the Navajos had always been peaceful and never wanted to fight. But tribes like the Southern Utes robbed them every year.
It’s no wonder why some of the Navajo code talkers were actually considered, mistakenly, to be of Japanese descent. I hope that they would have been able to distinguish themselves despite that. But they look so similar!! Especially certain people I have seen from Dine/Navajo tribe.
Sure you can trust the government, just ask an Indian, lol
Exaggeration. Your doing what modern flea market silversmith are doing. I done it long time ago but the cost of silver skyrocket and the market for silversmith work gone down 👇 or silversmith are too much for their work. It's understandable. But what your describing is common knowledge
At 16:30, that doesn't happen to Elon. I love the jewelry making part. But the folklore has always been inaccurate, to me. And why do they complain about being "shoved" onto a reservation? Please Uncle Sam, shove me on one where only Caucasians can live. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
