When was the Navajo rug first created?
The oldest surviving wool Navajo weaving comes from 1805 fund on vitims of an attach in Conyon del Muerto. It is thought they were weaving in wool by the mid 1600s. Sheep arrive in the late 1500s. The period of Navajo weaving from 1650 to 1865 is called the Classic period. Before that the people of the southwest wove in cotton, apocynum (Indian hemp), yucca leaf fiber, fur, and feather cord. It is unknown when the Navajo started weaving. It is thought they learned from the Pueblo people. Cotton cloth was a major trade good in the pre 1492 time period. By 1700 the Navajo weaving was much in demand by the Spanish. Textiles do not survive as well as pottery or other artifacts.
How is Navajo culture today similar to the early Navajo culture?
The Navajo have a remarkable ability to assimilate new ideas and technologies and make them Navajo. We believe the early Athabascan ancestors of the Navajo were hunter gatherers when they entered the Southwest probably about 900 years ago. By the 1300s or so they were growing corn, beans and squash and weaving cotton and making pottery. By the 1600s they were increasingly raising sheep and goats and weaving wool. In the 1700s they began to make silver jewelry. Large numbers, as percentage, served in the US military in the 20th century. Today there are 300,000 Navajo and they do almost every conceivable job. The Navajo have changed in many more ways but these are some of the outlines. Through it all, as far back as we can know, the four sacred mountains, Changing Woman, pollen, and the concept of Hózhǫ́ has been important.
Who were the apache Indians enemies?
We don't know who their enemies were before the Spanish arrived in about 1540. The word in Navajo for corn means enemies food or strangers food. The word for non Navajos is the same so we don't know if the ancestral Pueblo people were enemies or not. The word Anasazi can mean enemy ancestors or strangers ancestors as well. We do know they gained many skills and cultural ideas from the Pueblo so not all could have been fighting. By the 1600s the Spanish were the largest enemy. They created a market for slaves and tried to control Navajo land. Because they wanted slaves and would pay well for them other tribes raided the Navajo for slaves. The Navajo also raided the Pueblo and Spanish colonies. But they also traded with and inter married with the Pueblo people and some Spanish. By the late 1700s there was constant raiding and slaving attacks. The Ute and Comanche allied with the Spanish. It is estimated that during the early 1800s more than 66 percent of all Navajo families had experienced the loss of members to slavery. When the area became part of Mexico they became an enemy as well. Lastly, the area came under US control and the US army was their enemy
