Elizabeth Anne Jones DewveallAUTHOR ELIZABETH ANNE DEWVEALL JONES has been playing the flute since her days when growing up on the Navajo Indian Reservation at the Kaibeto Trading Post. A lifelong Arizonan with an interest in the state's past, she also became a source for histor of the Kaibito region for the period since 1936, when she was born to trader parents. Childhood activities and observations on the reservation -watching Natives and Anglos interact with and among themselves and with their land and livelihoods, witnessing extremes of weather, exploring the desert landscape, learning some Navajo words and about Native customs as well as her own, herself trading as a young merchant, and imagining-all this was the early learning foundation for Elizabeth Anne's life. Formal schooling both on and off the reservation and at times at home in the trading post were added, some of it in Leupp and much of it in Winslow where she lived with her Aunt Zada's and Uncle John's family during the academic year, going home to the trading post for holidays and summer vacations. From Winslow High School she went on with her education at Arizona State University and Northern Arizona State University where she took courses in the flute and journalism. Married, she went back with her husband to manage the trading post where she grew up. Remarried, she lived for a time in Leupp, where many years before she had gone to school with her Aunt Zada as her teacher. She has provided memories and historical photographs to the Old Trail Museum of Winslow and contributed letters to Arizona Highways. Elizabeth Anne now lives in Mesa, Arizona, surrounded by friends and family members including three children, five granddaughters and twelve great grandchildren. Read More Read Less
