Naataanii continued to weave during the summers up until she finished high school, selling what she wove so she could buy herself new clothes for the next academic year.
[1] Naataanii was unable to weave for five years while she was enlisted and has recalled traveling to countries like the Philippines and Thailand, being in indigenous neighborhoods, and seeing people living like in some reservations where certain technologies and things like running water were not present.
Her work has been described as traditional by multiple institutions and artists in that the background behind the piece and patterns used are inspired by aspects of her native culture.
Naataanii uses both traditional and non-traditional colors and raises her own sheep, which she sheers to create the dyed yarn used in her art.
On March 6, 2020, an exhibition of Naataanii's work was held at the Heard Museum Indian Fair and Market, alongside other Native American Artists from a variety of different tribes.
She has won such awards in the Santa Fe Fiber Art Show on multiple occasions as well as winning awards in The Heard Museum Indian Fair and Market as well as in the Gallup Intertribal Ceremonial and the Eight Northern Pueblo Arts and Craft Fair.
