The Navajo, or Dine as they call themselves, are most famous for their amazing rugs and blankets, woven on an upright loom without written patterns or instructions. But they also weave beautiful baskets, make traditional pitch-covered pottery and are exceptional silversmiths. Some carve small animals in the style of Zuni fetishes and others carve wooden folk art figures. Still others create paintings using oils and canvas traditionally considered "Anglo" materials. Creativity among the Navajo is as wide as their reservation.
