Quk Tazun means “the sun is rising” in the Dena’ina Athabascan language. These earrings’ design is borrowed from our Navajo cousin’s designs with their exuberant color choices of rising suns and their love of turquoise. With these shorter winter days may these earrings brighten your mornings and evenings and warm your spirit.
