Marilou
Schultz - Navajo Rugs/Weavings
I
am a Navajo and weave Navajo Rugs. I weave all styles of rugs such as
the Classic, Germantown, Regional, and Contemporary styles. Most of
my weavings are of very fine wool and I also use Churro wool in some
of my rugs. All my weavings are commissioned pieces unless I make one
for a show or market. I've always woven since I was a child and have
continued the tradition. During the early years of my weaving, I carded,
hand spun, and dyed all my wool but because of my full time teaching
job I have sometimes relied on roving wool and some pre-dyed wool (plant
dyed - vegetal). I also card the fleece, spin, and dye wool for special
pieces.I
conduct weaving workshops during the summer months across the U. S.
I also do presentations and/or demonstrations for schools, organizations,
museums, and weaving guilds whenever my schedule permits.

NativeTech:
Native American Technology and Art
Native American technology and art is far from "primitive"
--
Across this vast Turtle Island, different Peoples developed and expressed
their own complex technology. Often, the degree of craft specialization
is influenced by the different environments people live in, or by trade
and information networks -- these technologies are the product of thousands
of years of expertise, oral traditions and continuity.

Pottery
by American Indian Women - Introduction
American Indian women have been making pottery
for over two thousand years. In this essay, we celebrate the achievements
of ten potters who have preserved this important ancestral tradition
while advancing the art form through their innovative ideas and masterful
craftsmanship. Their approaches to their work symbolize the gradual
diversification of Indian culture that has slowly taken place in the
United States.

The

The Anasazi Heritage Center (AHC) is an archaeological
museum that displays and preserves artifacts and records from excavations

The museum features permanent displays on the
Ancestral Pueblo people, and on the techniques that allow modern archaeologists
to reveal the past. Many of our exhibits are hands-on and interactive.
You can weave on a loom, grind corn meal on a metate, examine tiny traces
of the past through microscopes, and handle real artifacts
