Los
Ojos
This pattern incorporates a traditional
nine-element design, consisting of three
rows of three central elements. The
design was inspired by the art of Native
American pueblo dwellers of the American
Southwest. The dwellings were often
covered with adobe and embellished with
angular, geometric designs such as those
that create the intricate pattern of
this blanket. Diamond, crosses, arrows,
and stepped, zigzag lines are common to
Native American traditions. Crosses
often represent the four directions and
zigzag lines, lightning or mountains. |

Storm
Pattern
The Storm Pattern traces its origins to
the legend of the creation of the Navajo
homeland. In the blanket's center is the
first hogan, the original house in which
the Navajo people began to arrange their
world. The hogan is surrounded by four
sacred mountains, symbolized by
rectangles near each corner. |

Penasco
This bold, geometric design is patterned after
the rich textile traditions of Mexican
weavers. In the early 1600s Spanish colonists
brought traditional two-shuttle looms with
them up the Camino Real from Mexico. They also
brought with them Churro sheep which became
the foundation for a thriving weaving
tradition in the settlements along the Rio
Grande. |

Yavapai
The nomadic Yavapai or "People of the Sun"
once occupied much of central Arizona. Yavapai
women specialized in basketry, with some items
woven tightly enough to hold water. This vivid
pattern reflects the intricate Yavapai art of
basketry. Like the original Native American
trading blankets, it is unnapped. |
