American Indian Quarterly
Not just the best available history of the craft, but also a general contribution to the understanding of the Navajo and their culture history.
Book Description
Navajo Weaving traces this art from about 1650, when loom processes were learned from the Pueblo Indians, to the present day of regional styles and commercial markets. Kent discusses history, styles, and methods used in Navajo weaving, observing changes in yarns, dyes, designs, and types of textiles resulting from trade with Spaniards, Mexicans, and Anglo-Americans.
