Great Read About Navajo Peoples
Not only is this book about the rugs and the posts, but also about the Navajo peoples and their struggles to survive. In the first sections of the book, it talks about the history of the Navajo peoples and how their lives changed over the years. Some of the history is very compelling and sad to read. The information about the the posts and how they influenced the designs and patterns of the rugs is fascinating. Those traditions continue today. Very informative.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
