The MAKING OF FAMOUS
NAVAJO INDIAN BLANKETS
They Are the Acme of Perfection in
Blankets, and Are of Ancient
Origin.

Through the Spaniards the
Navajoes learned the use of wool;
and the different stages in the
history of Navajo blanket weaving
are exemplifed by the various kinds
still in existence. For generations
past, however. the principle type of
the best Navajo blanket has been
the native wool blanket. This is
made entirely, both warp and wool,
from the hand spun wool taken from
the focks of sheep that Craze
Throughout the forests and plains
of Navajo land. From the time the
wool is clipped by hand from the
sheep to the completion of the blan-
ket, the process is one entirely OF
handiwork, and the wool never
leaves the hands of it's Navajo
owner.
The Navajo simplicity of life and
ideas is seen in the making of the
blanket. The weaving is done en-
tirely by the Navajo squaw, and is a
process that may last for months or
even year or more for the compile
ton of a single blanket. She
weaves her blanket when alone, or
with perhaps her little child, and
prefers to set up her loom which is
especially made for each blanket to
be woven, under a pine tree some
little distance from her hogan" or
hut. Here, surrounded entirely by

nature, it is little wonder that she
looks to her natural surroundings
for inspirations as to design. These
as matter of fact, together with
her traditions and superstitions,
are the story she weaves into her
blanket, for, when all is said, every
Navajo blanket is, to greater or
less extent, but a story-an express
sion of some tradition or belief.
1t is in this way that it comes
about that almost every Navajo
blanket has som significance or
symbolic meaning. The ordinery
cross, for example, represents the
four cardinal points of the compass;
the swastika cross, good fortune; the
diagonal figures that stand for the
male and the female lightning -the
latter distinguished by the blunt
end; the COW, representing the
horizon; the wind, rain, thunder,
pueblo, mountain and mesa all are
found represented by various figures.
Similarly. colors have their sig
nifance, such as white, which repre-
sents purity; black, authority; blue,
truth or sincerity; red, delight and
joy.
The durability of Navajo blanket
is phenomenal and is probably its
leading characteristic. Some of the
best weaves are so fine as to be
water proof. This feature of dura-
bility makes them we'll adapted for
use as floor rugs, as they will stand
