Navajo Teachings: Fake History vs. Real History

@theautry has a great collection of Navajo textiles on display and one piece that was really interesting was this saddle blanket. What’s so interesting about it is that it’s from around 1890 and it has an attribution. The artist was none other than Juanita, the wife of Manuelito. Manuelito was a very important figure in Navajo history and signed the treaty that ended the forced encampment at Bosque Redondo in 1868. This piece has incredible history and if you are in Los Angeles, I encourage you
