About the artist:
One of the famous Douglas Mesa basket weavers, there wasn't much question about what Peggy Rock Black would choose to pursue in life. She was born into a family of weavers before she married into an equally talented family of weavers.

Eagle Way
White Shell
Woman and Turquoise Woman, created from epidermis rubbed from under the breast
of Changing Woman, live on a mountain to avoid the monsters until their supply
of wild seeds and berries is exhausted. They reconnoiter, the older sister instructing
the younger to go to a mountain top to the north, she herself going to the south.
Talking God and Hastse Hogan appear to them; Talking God gives each maiden an
ear of corn, the "gift of life" which they are never to give away? More about this legend
Basketry
Basketry
is a woman's industry, which is also pursued by the nadle (he changes), hermaphrodites,
or men skilled in the arts and industries of both men and women. Basketry, however,
is not classified with textile fabrics (yistl'o), but with sewing (nalkhad). It
is of interest also that, while the basket is in progress, the sewer is untouched
and avoided by the members of her family? More about this legend
