The National Museum of the American Indian's collection of 19thcentury navajo weavings, one of the most comprehensive in the world, includes chief blankets, poncho serapes, mantas, and everyday blankets called diyogi. Most of the textiles, made between 1840 and 1880, predate production for the nonIndian market and have never before been photographed.With 80 color illustrations, Woven by the Grandmothers showcases not only the collection's earliest and best documented pieces but also those that most vividly represent its variety and depth. Essays by Native and nonNative authors including D. Y. Begay and Joe Ben Wheat explore the spirituality of Navajo weaving and situate the collection within an ongoing artistic and cultural tradition. The authors show how Navajo weaving, although considered integral to contemporary life, provides weavers with a link to earlier generations.
