PHOENIX — November is American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month. And it’s become the year of the Originativ. That’s what the Phoenix Suns organization is calling its new effort to showcase Arizona’s Indigenous history through the city edition uniform.There are 22 federally recognized tribes in Arizona.
Shirley owns his own performance business called Indigenous Enterprise. He was asked to be a part of the project by Shawn Martinez. Martinez is the Senior Director of Live Presentation for the Suns organization. He’s also a Navajo tribal member. The Suns organization immersed itself in learning about the 22 tribal nations in Arizona. The center court is now a medicine wheel with 22 feathers surrounding it, honoring the tribes and the major impact basketball has on reservations.
She said her favorite memory from the secret shoot with the players was getting to talk to Suns Small Forward Torrey Craig. She said, “I really liked Torrey Craig, he was super cool. I got to-I was next to him in the photo. And he was just treating me like I was a regular person, you know?” The organization chose turquoise as the color of the new jersey. It was inspired by the turquoise stone meant to give protection. But there's much more that went into this uniform.
