Abalone Mountain Press

Abalone Mountain Press, a Diné woman-owned publishing house, operates on the traditional lands of the Akimel O'odham. Our name, Abalone Mountain, is inspired by the Diné term (Dookʼoʼoosłííd) for the San Francisco Peaks in Flagstaff, Arizona, which holds deep sacred significance to the Navajo people as one of the four holy mountains. Founded by Amber McCrary, who grew up in Flagstaff, this sacred site resonates profoundly with her and with many Diné and Hopi communities.
