Roots?

I am super excited that my Navajo loom came today. I won it in a hard fought auction on Ebay. It is beautiful and it is signed by the Navajo artist that made it. While I won’t be doing completely traditional Navajo weaving on it, the idea of weaving on it makes me feel like I am reaching back to my roots. I am not Navajo, but I am part Yaqui. And, while the Yaqui were better known for their mask making and basket weaving, they also made woven blankets. I can’t wait to get started.
