"Native Lofi Girl" is specifically drawn to be Navajo and is wearing turquoise jewelry (earrings, necklace and ring). Her background is similar to the canyons of Monument Valley, AZ.
A kachina doll amongst the items on her desk. Kachina dolls are hand-crafted figurines (made by the Hopi people) that represent spiritual beings that bring messages, rain and good health.
Her bookshelf is filled with novels with Indigenous protagonists: Race to the Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse, Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse, and Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson.
