Alvin and Lula Begay were both born in Winslow, Arizona, in 1956. They both attended the
Dilkon Boarding School and later the Winslow High School. While at Dilkon, Alvin met Tommie
Singer, the well known Navajo silversmith, whose shop was in Dilkon. In 1973, Alvin began
his training in the skills of silversmithing. Eventually he was to join Tommie and work in
his shop for 12 years.

Both Alvin and Lula came from families of artistic background. Alvin’s mother, Ada Kai
Begay, was a noted Navajo rug weaver. Lula’s parents, Tommie and Ovida Lewis, were
silversmiths specializing in needlepoint turquoise jewelry. When Alvin joined Tommie
Singer’s shop, Lula began a career as a clerk and secretary for the Navajo Tribal
Government.
After Alvin left Tommie Singer, he joined with the noted Navajo award-winning silversmith,
Abraham Begay, whose shop was in Flagstaff. Alvin worked with Abraham for 2 years helping
in the design and construction of jewelry that eventually became award winners.
Alvin and Lula have become a fine, mutually supportive silver-working team. Lula left the
tribal government in 1991. With Alvin as a teacher, she soon started cutting and setting
stones, doing the final polish and finishing work, as well as braiding the leather used for
their bolos. Alvin does the overall design and construction of the piece. They do not use
any pre-made findings except earring posts. They make their own hooks and eyes, their own
hand hammered beads, and their own bezels. Alvin incorporates double and triple overlay (a
rare and extremely difficult skill), shadow box, engraving, and reticulation techniques,
often all on one major piece. He is well known for his reversible necklaces, often
permitting several “looks” on a single piece.

He won a first award with a necklace at a Dallas, Texas, competition, a second award for an
inlay concho belt at the Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial, and a third prize at Arizona’s O’
Odham Tash.

Alvin’s first love is bareback riding in rodeos. He has competed for 19 years, winning
championships in 1987 and 1989. He qualified for the Indian National Finals in 1987, 1988,
1989, and 1990. He won top honors at the Belen New Mexico Baca Rodeo Series, which included
rodeo cowboys from all nationalities. Alvin has competed in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
and Montana. He is one of the All Indian Rodeo Cowboy Association’s top award winners, with
four championship saddles, over 50 silver and gold engraved championship buckles, as well
as significant cash awards.

Alvin and Lula’s work reflects a strong discipline and great attention to detail. Their
recreational activities in the field of rodeo are wide open, free, and uninhibited. Both,
however, are demanding and require the utmost skill. Their jewelry is a reflection of their
discipline and their freedom.
