Jennie Slick weaves at a class in Window Rock

The travel section of today’s New York Times has an article by Keith Mulvihill which features travel on the Navajo Nation and focuses on weaving, the Crownpoint Rug Auction and interviews with master weaver and Weaving in Beauty instructor Jennie Slick and the Toadlena Trading Post’s Mark Winter.  Keith even tried his hand at  weaving, learning how to warp a loom and weaving a few inches.  The audio slide show that accompanies the article is really wonderful; you’ll enjoy hearing the sound of Jennie’s weaving fork as she’s working.

    Raymon: I have a blanket simialr to the pink blanket. My dad's family had sheep. Every year they would gather the wool and take it to Utah Woolen mills and make beautiful wool blankets. Similar to Pendleton blankets, in many different colors. Love the turquoise jewlrey. My mom has a big beaded bag of it that I hope I get a few peices of (she's half Native American) She finds it kind of amusing that Native American prints etc. are "in" right now.

    Remigio: Way to go, Navajo Nation! Either cease-and-desist, or collect roiaetyls for the use of your name (only on quality products of which you approve, of course). Same with sports teams that use Native names as mascots. Until recently, the University of North Dakota was paying the Standing Rock Sioux annual roiaetyls to use the name Fighting Sioux , which was a win-win and a source of pride for both parties. Unfortunately for both the Tribe and the university, political correctness put an end to that.

    Ann Puzio: Hi Mary, Need to change to the waiting list for 9/13-20th. I hope this is possible.Also, going to see if I can sign up for the online class, need to check my computer. Thanks ann
