Navajo Weaving History

This PowerPoint about the history of Navajo weaving could be used as part of an art or social studies unit for 4th-8th graders.

It includes:

a map of where the Navajo lived

facts about the yarn and dyes they used

trade routes

the type of loom used

designs woven

the purpose of the weaving

This would be a great PowerPoint to show right before an art lesson on weaving or a social studies lesson on Native Americans.

The text is written in language so that a 4th grade class (or older) would be able to read it aloud to their peers.
