AMERICAN INDIAN WEAVING{From a photograph by George R. King) A woman of the Navajo Indians at Canyon de Chelley, near Gallup, NewMexico, United States, weaving a blanket with yarn she has carded andspun of wool from sheep raised by her tribe, and dyed with fast colors whichthe Navajos make of native vegetables. These Indians, who raise thou-sands of sheep and horses and are also skilled as primitive silversmiths,decorate their blankets with rude-colored designs, and weave them soclosely that often the blankets will hold water. It illustrates a most primi-tive form of weaving that has been practised for centuries.
