The Gift of Spiderwoman: Southwestern Textiles - The Navajo Tradition by Joe Ben Wheat

This publication was prepared to accompany a one-day symposium and exhibition entitled "Southwestern Textiles: The Navajo Tradition" held at The University Museum, University of Pennsylvania and to define the scope of the Museum's holdings of Southwestern textiles. The information provided regarding the size, range and historical background of the collection should prove to be useful to scholars, weavers and collectors. This collection comprises textiles woven by Navajo Indians, Pueblo Indians from both New Mexico and northeastern Arizona and Spanish colonists who settled in the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico.
