WEAVERS OF THE WORLD 





WEAVING THE MULTI-HUED NAVAJO BLANKET: SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES 

 Such a primitive loom as this is said by ethnologists to have originated with the Chilkat 

 Indians of Alaska. This tribe still produces some wonderful blankets, but those of the Navajos of the 

 Southwest are better known to the world at large. The warp is hung over a long pole, as shown in 

 the picture, and mythological figures are woven into the piece in brilliant colors.
