About the artist:
Considered primarily responsible for the preservation and renaissance of the art of Navajo basket weaving, Mary Holiday Black is a legend in her own time. Mary received the Utah Governor's 1995 Folk Art Award, and in September of 1996 a $10,000 National Heritage Fellowship Award from the National Endowment for the Arts, which was presented to her in Washington D.C. by First Lady Hillary Clinton.

The Navajo
wedding basket also reflects many values of traditional life and so often contains

of the basket may determine the numher of mountains in the design. The center
spot in the basket represents the beginning of this world, where the Navajo people
emerged from a reed? More about this legend
