Tabita Bitah must be a direct descendant of Spider Woman herself. She
has a crazy knack for weaving some of the most dramatic and appealing
rugs in our portion of Navajo land. Curve and motion are not easy to
achieve in rugs woven on a horizontal loom, but Tabita has not had the least
bit of trouble accomplishing this feat. A master weaver and a
masterful art work....indeed!

Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is one of the most unique and interesting of Navajo myths and
legends. It is an interpretation of where the people came from, their beliefs
in the progression and movement of life, connections with their surroundings and
the involvement of their deities. It is a metaphor for who they are and the life
they lead. At the base of the corn plant there is a symbol for the emergence or
?center of all things?? More about this legend
Weaving
After the
medicine woman told the people about the prayersticks she told them that there
was a place in the underworld where two rivers crossed. It was called ni tqin'kae
tsosi, fine fiber cotton (Indian hemp). There were two persons who brought the
seed of that plant, they were spiders. They said that the people were to use the
plant instead of skins for their clothing. So this seed was planted in the earth? More about this legend
