  • Featuring more than 500 photos and maps, this is the first comprehensive, research-based history of Navajo weavings with imagery inspired by tribal sacred practices. These yei, yeibichai, and sand painting textiles have been the most sought after by collectors and the least studied by scholars. Considering their iconography, and contrary to popular conception, they never served a ceremonial function.

    • Authors: Rebecca M. and Jean-Paul Valette
    • Hardcover: 432 pages
    • Publisher: Schiffer; 1 edition (August 28, 2017)
    • ISBN-10:0764353748
    • Product Dimensions: 8.9 x 1.6 x 11.1 inches
  • Over the past 40 years, Rebecca Valette and Jean-Paul Valette have done extensive research on Navajo weavings with ceremonial imagery, curated exhibits, and published studies on their historical development.
  • Never-before-published weavings, detailed annotations, and an extensive bibliography make this an invaluable reference for scholars and collectors, and a fascinating exploration for all who are interested in the Southwest and its native cultures.
  • At Shumakolowa we are proud to sell rare and hard-to-find books that celebrate Native American and Pueblo culture, history, and art. Our selection of books has been carefully curated by our team of experts to inspire and provide insight into these unique art forms.
  • At Shumakolowa Native Arts, we are proud to bring you books, music, and films that celebrate and illuminate Native American artists and the original authentic art forms that are distinctive to Native Americans of the Southwest. These works are written, produced, directed, or recorded by Native American authors, filmmakers, and musicians, or were created in consultation with Native American experts. In our unique collection of media, we bring you the finest scholarly books recognized for their nuanced exploration of Native American culture; music that comes out of Native traditions of prayer, song, and dance; and films that use the voices of Native American people to examine their stories, art, and history.
