Elton Manygoats

Elton Manygoats was born in the northern part of Arizona on the Navajo Nation. He grew up herding sheep and goats and attended Tuba City Boarding School and Dine Community College where he studied art and began winning art competitions. Later he attended Haskell Indian Nation University in Kansas where he earned an A.A. degree. After college, Elton worked in the construction and iron-working industries before turning to the junkyard for the elements of his art. “There I found my style of art and found my new way of seeing Native art in my own perspective. I created with the old junk I found at junkyards and found my own style of Native art.”
