Textiles:
Navajo Rugs: Women are the weavers among the Navajo. Women own the sheep and
their wool, which they spin into yarn for their rugs. Black sheep are treasured for the
color of their wool, which is important in such designs as Two Gray Hills.
Hopi QUILTS: Men are the weavers among the Hopi and traditionally did all work
involving textiles. However, in the late 1800's, missionary ladies began bribing the
Hopi ladies to come to church by giving them quilt squares and teaching them to quilt.
It was a great hit! The Hopi ladies began combining traditional quilting pattern with
Hopi elements created with embroidery and, later, with fabric paint. Quilts have
become an integral part of the ceremony naming a Hopi baby. On the 20th day of an
infant's life, the women of the father's clan arrive- each bringing a quilt and a name! A
child may receive 40 quilts and 40 names!
