19th Century blanket from the ASM collection

The exhibition Navajo Weaving at Arizona State Museum: 19th Century Blankets, 20th Century Rugs, 21st Century Views (October 2004 through May 2005) introduced visitors to the beauty of Navajo weaving as well as its historical and modern-day significance to its makers.

Many of the items listed below were originally designed to prepare teachers and students for a visit. Although the exhibition is over, these resources can still be used along with the other information in this online exhibition to teach about Navajo tradition and culture as well as this amazing art form.
