According to legend, Navajo women learned to weave from a spiritual medicine woman who learned the craft from a celestial spider. Anthropologists have placed the more earthly origins of the craft in the hands of early Pueblo people, who themselves were influenced by the early Spanish colonists/explorers. Whatever the origin of this distinct Native America art form, Navajo wool blankets and rugs have always been symbols of the rugged Southwest.
From 1940 until 1942, arguably the height of popularity for Southwest Indian crafts, Chrysler adopted the Navajo weaving style for an unusual and exclusive interior Highlander trim package. According to the folks at Howstuffworks.com, this now rare and highly desirable model sold for a showroom price of $1,255-1,548.
