Navajo rugs are shrouded in legends. The Native American tribe teaches that a goddess named Spider Woman instructed the people on weaving. The first loom was fashioned from the sky and earth cords were made from sunlight, crystal, and white shells. Although the story is lovely, historians believe that the Navajo people learned weaving from their Pueblo neighbors.
