Wearing the traditional velvet blouse of the Navajo nation since their imprisonment at Bosque Redondo, this young lady participates in one of the oldest crafts of the Southwest peoples - weaving. It is Navajo legend that Spider Man first instructed the Navajo how to make a loom from sunshine, lightening, rain, rock crystal and shell. It is Spider Woman who taught the Navajo how to weave.
Hanging in the background is a rug typical of the Burntwater area of the Navajo reservation near Sanders, Arizona. Burntwater type rugs are usually based on the Ganado or Two Grey Hills design but with more intricate motifs. Traditionally they are executed in a multitude of vegetal dye colors, some rugs having as many as 40 different hues, sometimes taking years to accomplish.
