Navajo Children: Weaving the Future Hand made rugs and blankets have always been an important part of Native American culture and economy. Weaving techniques and patterns have traditionally been passed down from mothers and grandmothers to daughters. Modern lifestyles have threatened this art form. Tourism and economic development from Adopt an Elder Program has given this art form renewed interest. Adopt an Elder Program sponsors rug sales directly from the weavers, who get one hundred percent of the profits. Young and talented Navajo children living in the Navajo Nation did all the rugs and blankets in this exhibit. The collection is on loan from Adopt an Elder Program.
